Do Kindle covers stretch to fit?

Hi everyone :-)

I wanted to ask what happens if a Kindle loads an ebook with a small image cover (i.e. 800 x 600)? Does the image get stretched to fit?

I know the Kindle Fire has a high res screen that WAY exceeds 800x600. So does that mean that 800x600 pixel covers look teeny tiny on a Kindle Fire?

For reference sake, I use KindleGen to generate these books. The reason why I'm asking these questions is because I have a ton of books in the 800x600 size and I don't know how pressing it is for me to re-do them all in a high res size.

If the images scale to 100% on Kindle devices (Kindle DX, Kindle Fire, Kindle Paperwhite), then I might not be bothered to upscale them all just yet.

Any help would be great, for I do not have Kindles.
