In addition, on my Galaxy Note 3, the 240 pixel covers didn't look that different to the 480 pixel covers in cover view or list view. If I set the cover size to extra large in details view I can see a pretty big difference, but even then its not so bad at the lower resolution.

I don't have my tablet at work, but I imagine it would make much more of a difference there.

If anyone is curious, I tested this with these covers: http://tinyurl.com/plrtd2l which I found yesterday and replaced the default covers in my library with.
Thanks for the test, both the subjective and objective parts. For my devices (GN and N7 original), I too am happy with the 320 cover even at 48 display, but I imagine that cover fanatics won't be.

For completeness, how many books in your db?
