I have attached one of the epubs. The cover image is one I have generated to replace the original, which was also 600x800.

Yeah, something funny is going on. When I was copying the image files I had made, I was getting errors that there was no disk space, even though there was plenty. Using df -i showed 0 free inodes, which made me think that I had run out, but looking again it shows 0% used, so I am wondering if the filesystem is borked.

I am using 2.1.5. The reason I was thinking it is a bug is that the image is already the right size to fit the screen, so adding the margins changes the aspect ratio, which distorts the text.
