The epub looks good on the Nook, though on B&N's version of Look Inside (not in the downloaded book) the cover is sometimes truncated. The cover was generated by Sigil from the product image, so perhaps I should resize that in the future to 800 pixels wide.

You don't want to drop the resolution of the cover because it can look fuzzy when it's stretched to fit the screen. You have to take into account the new hi-res eInk screens. The resolution is 1430 x 1080. So no, 800px wide is too small.
