Been looking at this and it appears if you create a cover in sigil with the svg wrapper {relative value?}, the cover will adjust its size to the reading device. Now this brought up a question I never thought of until now. Is the 'cover' or thumbnail I see in Calibre and in my ereader the cover or is the cover what I see when I actually open up the epub to read? Or is the thumbnail generated from the inside cover of the epub.? I was using a Calibre plugin called Create Cover which generated to me the thumbnail I see of the epub as well as the first page of the same epub. I guess it is linguistics, but when we say an epub's cover are we referring to what is seen when we open the epub up or the picture of it as displayed in Calibre or on the bookshelf of any ereader? There is an entire article written by Ron Shelton about using Sigil to generate a cover to adapt to any ereader. My initial results were mixed.
