Greetings.

I've noticed that with most - if not all - ebooks the cover is specified simply as an <img src="..."/>. So far, so good.

But if I do Tools > Add Cover, the new one gets specified as <svg ><image ... /></svg>.

Why? The cover-image is just that: a JPEG-file. Why the "sudden" switch to vector graphics? What am I missing here?
