I have noticed that on a few thumbnails in the book details page, the color is very splotchy. It is ONLY apparent with covers with big areas of a bright red color. I don't notice it on any other colors, or even on darker reds/maroons. Just bright red. See attached screenshot of one such book.

Does android not like the color red?

Seriously, is there any way to avoid this? If the tradeoff were a much larger database or a slower import, I fully understand the preference to keep things the way they are. But perhaps there can be some tweak that doesn't negatively impact some other area?

I have my thumbnails set to large in the book details page. The book cover image is 1406 x 2104 pixels and is 274 KB. I have book covers on my device that are larger than that but don't notice any peculiarities in the thumbnails like with the red ones. And viewed at 100% on my computer it looks fine. If you'd like, I can send you the actual cover image.
