Anyway hope this fixes the problem. Is this a new setting that was just added recently? Because that would explain why this problem cropped up.

Kovid changed covers from jpg to svg in version 0.6.46

EPUB Output: Use SVG for covers, to ensure cover image is correctly resized to fit available screen space

In version 0.6.54 he added EPUB Output: Add option to toggle preserving the aspect ratio of the cover.

EPUB Output: Add option to toggle preserving the aspect ratio of the cover.- "By default calibre creates an SVG based cover that scales with the screen size of the reader used to view it. Previosuly this scaling was limited to preserve the aspect ratio of the image. This would often result in white borders at the sides or top and bottom of the image. Now, by default, calibre will setup the cover to not preserve aspect ratio, doing away with the white borders. The downside is that if the aspect ratio of the cover is very different from the reader, it will look distorted. The old behavior can be restored via Preferences->Conversion->EPUB Output."
