Why does Calibre downscale covers?
Is it possible to use original cover.jpg file from .epub to be used in Calibre?

Whenever I import books, Calibre generates it's own cover from the one present in .epub file, and it's of lower resolution and lower .jpeg quality compared to the one present in the files. If I go and manually overwrite cover.jpg file that's generated in Calibre Library folder, Calibre then displays full resolution file without problems, so I'm guessing that program downscales covers automatically on import.
