I am waiting for the $1M award for technological brilliance.

IIRC, you can thank jackie_w for suggesting the portrait/stretch option way-back-when.

2) You were smart enough not to change the aspect ratio on the details screen.
If it is truly "big covers" your looking for then choose "Square box: preserve aspect ratio." See attached. Personally I would have preferred something that ended up 3x3 but I choose 2x3 because these old eyes prefer larger covers.

Thanks, but I like the middle one the best. My desire for big covers is balanced by my desire for lots of books in view. Stretch to fit gives me bigger covers without sacrificing the number of books.

Plus, I'm usually in list mode anyhow.
