I always change those messed up types of covers too. I'll either hunt down a better cover or scan an old paperback and do edits in Photoshop if necessary, or even create one myself. I don't need hi-res images for an ereader, I usually keep to 800px for height and that looks great both in Calibre and on my readers, but I don't want to see a pixelated mess either or tears running across the page.
