I'm using version 2.85.1 of Calibre.

I have inserted my book cover on the metadata page.

When I convert to .mobi, everything looks perfect.

When I convert to .epub, the cover dimensions distort to whatever size the (PC based) viewer is. If I shrink and grow the viewer window, the image squishes and distorts. I do not have that problem for the .mobi edition.

It may simply be a problem with the viewer that Calibre uses to display the .epub file.

Can you provide any insight as to what I'm doing wrong?
