Thanks guys for your input.
My Ebooks were originally in MOBI for my Kindle 3. When I got the Nexus 10 and chose the combination Calibre, CC and M+RP I converted the books to EPUB.
I followed Kovid's advice and did an EPUB/EPUB conversion on 10 books and none of them changed to full screen (I left "Preserve cover aspect ratio" unchecked). I thought it might be due to M+RP and approached Seany at M+RP and he answered:

"hi, I'll update the book information dialog (or edit book information dialog) in next version which you can click the thumbnail cover to show it in full screen mode directly".

I don't know whether that will work and whether I will have to do something extra in Calibre before the books hits CC, since the info in CC is basically a reflection of what happened in Calibre.
Sometimes when you hit the title of a book with a small cover in CC, you see a quick glimpse of a full-size cover, but it immediately goes back to the small one.
Re Aldiko: it probably does not work in combination with Calibre and CC? Also I read some negative comments about their latest version.
Thanks guys!
