I mainly read epubs, and wrote a little script to generate a cover image with the author and title details for books without covers. However, no matter what size I make the cover image, it is compressed horizontally with a white border to the left and right.

I have seen that this issue has been raised before in the forums, but I have not seen a solution for it. What size does the image need to be to fit the whole screen, or alternatively, how can I get rid of the borders?.

Incidentally, I am not using calibre for this, and don't really want to. The rest of the formatting in the epubs is ideal I prefer to manage my epubs myself rather than have a piece of software managing my library.
