I also stretch my covers because I dislike the pillarbox on the images and the resulting uneven sizes displayed on the homescreen and book lists. As ZodWallop said, the stretching is minimal and really don't notice it unless you have the original side-by-side to compare.
It's hardly the same thing as comparing a book cover to stretching out an old 4:3 TV show to wide screen dimensions. That really does look horrid, it makes everyone look short and fat, the distortion is very noticeable and not pleasant to view at all.
You see the book cover image maybe for 1 second when you open the book, you're not sitting and staring at the image for even 30 minutes, a half-hour show's time. And it's not images of actors that you're familiar with that you would instantly notice that they look wrong, it's usually a house or a road, something non-descript that makes zero difference if it's 40 pixels wider than it should be while you open your book.
One preference has nothing to do with the other.
