Can someone tell me if I need to save a separate epub for each distributor/portal I might want to submit the book to, in order to change out which cover is submitted? Apple, KOBO, Googlebooks etc. all have different size specs for the cover art. So, while the book itself remains the same, the cover art is different.

Thanks!
I just build it out at 2500px tall in the ePub, based on Kindle specs. I've figured this is the most demanding spec, though now that I say that I can see how I might be mistaken, and in hindsight it's a bit funny since Amazon doesn't use the inbuilt cover in the first place. But anyway, that's what I do.
