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
There is a 'Tweak' that affects covers. You might read the notes and see what it says is default.
ALSO, your selected device profile might be interacting (reducing) the image on send.
