In the same tree are also stored the annotations if any.
See whether the cover has kept its DAR (it should if one so instructs calibre).

You can also alter the values there by hand to a little less than 1024x758 (ie margins).
I found the thumbnails on my reader and they look fine (though very small and hard to see) but I found no way to change anything.

I set my epub conversion by now to Sony T3 (what I didn't have before), I tried tablet (because someone said then there would be no resizing of the image) - all of that changed the viewbox and image settings but NOTHING changed the outcome! When on standby-mode (with kept aspect ratio) the epub's first side image has a left and right white margin and gets stretched!

I even checked a book that was pre-installed on the reader, same result (meaning stretched cover in standby-mode again)!

What I don't understand why you don't have the problem on your reader? At least with my epubs the result should be the same, if not that means that the problem is not with my epub but with my reader. I have two T3 and I tested with both and they both have the same isue!

I'm ad a loss...

I know that the problem is not there when I use a concret image as standby, only when I choose the last read title of the book as image.

I think I have to live with stretching the covers.

Thanks for your help anyway.
