Trying to change the cover size.

I have set the epub output size to 600x906, but the image size doesn't change when using convert epub to epub. I also tried the Modify Epub plugin, which removes fonts, but it doesn't affect the cover size.

Use the editor to adjust the size of the cover image. The size you've chosen is rather small. If you move to a device that is hi-res, you'll want the covers to be hi-res. I use a cover size of 1680 lines and the wide is whatever it is to be aspect ratio correct.

The "Resize Cover" plugin by Grant Drake might be useful here, it can bulk-resize covers in a single click. Do make sure to resize the cover before doing a conversion or a polish or whatever.

Resizing can lead to a fuzzy image. It's best to download the cover download plugins to get a new hi-res cover.
