Doing a ' download cover ' job and having it return only covers found in 600x800 pixels (or whatever your readers resolution is) would be a nice feature as it makes for a nice neat display when first opening a book.

I've being doing it manually but if it could happen automagically, that would be even better.

Anyone else interested in a feature like this?
The Quality Check plugin REPORTS on covers that exceed a preset size.
The problem on looking ONLY at the size is what is included: Borders, front and back (flat)...
I use Search the internet PI: Google for images and hand pic the best that meets my size (~300x500)/ visual criteria
