I also find this slightly annoying, but since I rarely spend much time looking at the cover, I just ignore it.

If there were an option to preserve the cover image's aspect ratio when the ebook viewer is resized, that would be ideal. I haven't found such an option though. Or maybe I'm not looking in the right place?
Why not replace the cover (jacket) using one of the Calibre tools (that uses SVG to wrap the cover and maintain Aspect)?
I would rather see whitespace on the edges, than distortion
