This is basically a bug with the version of Adobe digital editions used by the sony software and on the sony devices. Try the file with the latest version of Adobe Digital Editions or any other decent EPUB viewer and the picture will not be cut off.
@Nate the great: calibre does not distort the cover image. If you unzip the epub file and look at the cover image (cover.jpg) you will see that for yourself. What calibre does do is embed the cover image in html with height="100%", on the reasonable assumption that covers should occupy the full screen
@Amalthia: You should use cover images that are roughly the same aspect ratio as the reader screen. That will workaround this bug in older version of ADE. And in any case, using a cover image that has a wildly different aspect ratio, as in this case, will lead to very distorted looking images in newer versions of ADE, which instead of not resizing, resize but dont preserve the aspect ratio.
