Does anyone know if there's a way to have Calibre put different size values in the titlepage for the cover, when converting to ePub?

I have a Kobo Touch which listens to the values in the titlepage.xhtml when displaying the cover... unfortunately Calibre puts the following in the body:

Code:

<image height="684" width="512" xlink:href="../Images/cover.jpeg"></image>

Since the Kobo Touch screen is 800 x 600 pixels, the above always causes my covers to have right and left margins (it doesn't fill the screen). Even if the actual jpg has the right dimension, this code still messes it up. It drives me crazy. The only way to fix it that I've found so far is to physically go and change the code in the titlepage.xhtml for each and every epub. Very time consuming.

So I'd like to tell Calibre to put either no size in at all, or 800 x 600, when converting to ePub. That way I can correct the cover sizes of all my ePubs in one go. Any genius ideas on how to do this?
