Introduction

This plugin allows users to resize the calibre cover image displayed for books in Calibre's book details and cover browser to one of a configurable choice of sizes.

The plugin comes predefined with a 450 x 680 setting, which some may find useful for changing Overdrive style 510 x 680 covers from a 3:4 to a more conventional 2:3 aspect ratio. However you can configure any size combinations you prefer in the plugin preferences.
