Now-a-days, we have phone cameras with decent DPI, So why not take a picture, Calibre has a crop tool built into the cover section of the MDE, so all yo need as Light and a way to keep the camera square with the book.
AI can manipulate the image.So if you take it not quite straight or need it adjusted, AI can do a rather good job.
