This is true even for books that I have bought from Kobo: the kepub has perfect cover, but the cover of the epub version of the same book has large margins to left and right.

I have one or two side loaded books that have a perfect cover, and if I copy the cover page code from that book to a different one, that second one will still show the margins :S
1) If I like the cover that comes with the epub I unzip the epub, take the cover image in it, resize the image to 600w x 800h (use your favorite image editor), save it, rezip the epub.

2) add the following code (replace the existing code) with:

Code:
<body style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<div><img alt="" src="../Images/cover.jpg" /></div>
</body>
