Hmm. I hadn't noticed that before, but I see it, too.

FFF uses a Calibre function to pull the cover image out or generate one from the first page of the ebook (calibre.ebooks.metadata.meta.get_metadata()).

Calibre v4 appears to make the cover images larger. I'm seeing 1131x1600 & 1240x1754 while v3 makes them smaller, 590x750.

I suspect but can't prove that the font size is the same, but on a larger image; so the text appears smaller on the scaled image.

I haven't been able to find in Calibre where either the image or font sizes are set.

UPDATE: FYI, setting a large font size for the title page in CSS in the epub does work to make the text on the rendered cover larger. So that's one solution.
