A larger cover can take more storage than the ebook!
That's a rather low number. The Libra 2 has a resolution of 1264 x 1680. What I do is try to find a cover with a higher resolution and reduce it to 1600 lines. I also give the cover a 70% lossless compression. That works perfectly well. This is done in calibre's editor. I may start reducing to 1680
