Well that didn't work or I did it wrong (not impossible). Tried a couple of different ways, and nothing seemed to change the scaling. FWIW, I'm using Windows 11 with a 2560x1440 resolution monitor.

I found the default_cover.png in the calibre resources and it's still 600x800 pixels, so it must be a scaling issue. Everything else in calibre looks fine and all actual covers are scaled normally. If I use the built-in generate cover, I get a nice large 1200x1600 image. If I remove a cover I get the 96x128 default. This tiny cover shows up in the edit metadata window, the book details panel, and the cover browser, so whatever is leading to the rescaling is consistent.
