I have no idea how the CBZ renderer behaves, so the most accurate way (that I can think of) of testing the set of images I posted (in #215) are the raw ones to feed to pickel, not the PNGs.
What I want is the version as generated by calibre as it is, calibre as you suggest and what the device would generate. Then I can compare those on the device and see what the difference is.

(Granted, swapping the cover of a book manually is also a very roundabout way of going at it, but I've seen some weird caching behavior when I checked the shouldDither stuff on that front, so that might take a reboot).
Been there, done that, reconnected and sent it again several times until I remembered

As for the letterboxing/full-screen thingy, do you mean that when the "Show information popup" (or whatever it's actually called ^^) checkbox in the power settings is enabled, the covers are handled differently? AFAICT, nickel itself always builds full-size images when syncing stuff. Or did I completely misunderstood what you were talking about?

EDIT: Or did you mean the thumbnails that are shown on the homescreen & Library? In which case I think I disabled letterboxing in these cases to avoid just such an issue.
No, the "Show book covers full screen" option. Turning that off displays the cover in a box centred on the screen with with the state above and below the cover.

Also, the patch you created before doesn't want to apply. I can do it manually, but I need the "eink_colors.gif" file. Could you post that?
