There are also some other advantages to using Calibre to send the cover images: The images will be displayed in thumbnail/home screen without any white bars You can choose to preserve aspect ratio or stretched to 3:4 ratio. You can send black-and-white images which save some space.
I can't get covers to display without the white sidebars when on the SD card if the covers aren't 3:4. Where I set the options are in Plugins, Device Interface options, Kobo Touch, I have the following settings checked: Delete Empty Bookshelves, Upload Black and White Covers, Create Bookshelves, Upload covers for books, and Set Series Information.

Is there another place in settings that I'm missing or what am I doing wrong?
