On the device, the cover image is taken from the kepub and scaled to fit in the sizes used. This is done maintaining the aspect ratio. If the covers all have the same aspect ratio, then they will appear to be the same size. But, if they don't have the same aspect ratio, then they will appear to be different sizes.

Epubs are different. The cover is whatever you see as the first page. That could be a full screen image, a text title or a tiny image shoved into the top right corner of the screen with the rest white. These are always the same size.

Now when talking about epubs, do I have to have Adobe editions if I am using epuvs or does that only apply to books that still have DRM?
For epubs with DRM, you need to use ADE to sideload the books. For epubs without DRM, you don't need any tools, you can just put them on the device. But, once you get a few books, I think that tools such as calibre makes sense as a way to manage your ebooks.
