Actually I found a way for my Sony reader PRS-T3S but I don't know if every reader works the same.

I noticed that Sony makes a border left and right with my covers I created, and with that stretched the cover when using the book cover in sleeping mode. Even when I used Sony's own resolution size 758 x 1024 (96 dpi)! Don't ask me why.

I could solve this my actually not keeping aspect ratio when making the epub.

That stretched the image in sleeping mode to full size (which is actually the right size!), ignoring here that the image on the first page of the book is then stretched too (this side is not THAT important for me).

So with a bit trail and error I now use my covers in a size 1630 x 2200 and not keeping aspect ratio when making the epub. Perfect aspect ratio, no borders!
