If this is how Kobo sizes covers, then it's a bug as they should be the correct aspect.

Do you even read the messages you are responding to?
So once more for the hard of reading:
The thumbnails on the tiles have a minimum aspect ratio of 3x4. If the image being used for the thumbnail has an aspect ratio greater than 3x4 (3x5 for example), the image on the thumbnail will be the same width as a 3x4 image but will be taller to maintain it's aspect ratio. If the aspect ratio is lower than 3x4 (3x3 for a square image), the lower portion of the 3x4 thumbnail will be left blank. Since it appears the border around the tile is the same width, a taller thumbnail will require a taller tile.
Nothing to do with the aspect ratio of a physical book which can vary all over the map. Nothing to do with the aspect ratio of any ereader screen. Nothing to do with any of your oh so touching concerns about how a Kobo ereader should work. Simply how a Kobo ereader with a tiled interface generates it's tiles and why the height of the tiles can vary.
Why do I keep thinking about a Doug and the Slugs album from 1983?
Disdainfully,
