Bug Description

As it was fixed in the release 7.12.0, the resolution is good now, and the thumbnail does not look pixelated. But now, the thumbnails are being shown the wrong size, they look kind of squared and not rectangular.

There is nothing I can do about how the kindle chooses to present
thumbnails. THe thumbnails are sent with whatever aspect ratio the
actual cover images have.

I did modify the covers and it is supposed to be 1000 x 1500 pixels. But when sending it to the Scribe it's making them square. That's why I opened the bug. It's still happening.
