The whole exercise took less than a minute!
Get the Resize Cover Plugin, That takes care of THE LIBRARY (GUI)
After that has been done: do as DNSB suggests: Embed so the book shrinks

Quality check Plugin to FIND which covers in the LIBRARY are big (does not check the book files. Embed after fixing)
