What would currently be best practice for creating epub covers in terms of dimensions so that they are compatible (or display reasonably) on most devices?

Having investigated this some time back I have been using 600 x 800px since.

However, I'm wondering is that still a safe bet. What brought me to ask is that when testing a mobi on Kindle Previewer the 600 x 800 cover became so small on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. This I have dealt with by using cover dimensions of 1563 x 2500px for the mobis. That takes care of Kindle.

But what is now the safest way to approach covers for all the various devices that read epubs?
