Calibre is making this out of my cover when I make an epub.

But even when I change it from hand to this

and of course save it, I get the same result.

It doesn't matter, Sony always stretches the cover in standby-mode because the cover gets then a left and right white-border. The only way to get it in the right size is to forget about aspect ratio, then the cover will be stretched to full size in standby-mode and the cover is actually the right size. Problem is only that then the cover is stretched in the book.

I even made me a test cover to better see the result. The lines in the circle have the same length and the squares are exactly 150 to 150 pixel.


Any more ideas?
