I just spent some time hunting down a nice high rez cover image for a book. The image I dug up is 1256x2024, but when use it for the cover image in Calibre it gets downscaled to 992x1600 and then when I convert the book (Mobi) to ePub is gets downscaled again to 382x616.

Now, I didn't spend the time to find a good high rez copy of the cover to ultimately end up with a crappy looking 382x616 image. Is there a setting somewhere I'm not seeing that will make Calibre leave the image alone?

TIA
