Ah. The last time I looked at the configuration is too long ago . Thanks for the correction.

They look like they are either resized up to be higher resolution or overly compressed. In either case, they look awful and it's then important to be able to choose a different cover since that one is not suitable. This is why it's important to be able to pick the cover you want and not just take the first one you get. Also, you may want a specific cover image and if that cover image is not given to you as a choice but it's available, then that too is poor functioning.
I was wrong about not being able to choose the cover you want, as davidfor pointed out; the number of results returned is configurable. So you can pick the one you like best. If the one you want is not among them, well, than you obviously already know the cover you want and are able to use other ways to get it (using Google Images by hand or the Search the Internet plugin or what-have-you). The plugin can't read your mind...
