If you're getting what you've called "pillarboxed covers" it suggests you're not doing either of the above and, instead, you're allowing the Kobo to do its own extraction of thumbnails/screensavers. In this case I believe all it does with eoubs is use whatever is on page 1 of the epub - which will include any white sidebars if you see them there. Using calibre to transfer covers will stop the Kobo doing its own extraction.

Wow, turns out I didn't have the "Upload covers" option enabled in the device settings
. That seemed to do the trick lol, thanks!
