I can't say I've noticed a difference recently, but I am usually using the higher resolution devices. Maybe Kobo have changed how they generate them for the lower resolution devices. I'll have a look and see. But, as you are seeing it, can you suggest a book or two that you have seen it with? I can get the preview onto my devices and see if I can tell the difference.

(I am using Calibre 2.85, KoboTouch 2.3.3, KoboUtilities 2.5.2, to sideload ePubs, sending greyscale covers with original aspect ratio. I'm not using the KoboTouchExtended driver.)
It won't be different. The KoboTouch driver implements the cover sending and uses code calibre provides for the conversion. The extended driver and the utilities just use the code in the KoboTouch driver.
