Sqlite uses one file to store data. Operating system may take
any number of additional files to read and write to it. Developers
decide how it should work. I'm now sure why should "journal" file
be shown on the desktop application screen.
Best regards.

Personally, I like the SD card for my books since if nothing else, I can always pop it into the laptop's card reader and read the books there. The drop in page turns is not a deal breaker for me though one source says I could be reducing my battery life by ~5% though that conclusion was vigourously disputed by other posters. Depends on exactly what battery is in the Kobo was the closest to a conclusion. Note that these are books I am using Calibre to transfer to the Kobo.
Not an SQLite expert but generally a journal records changes in the database. Makes recovering from a crashed/corrupted database much easier since applying the journal to a backup copy of the database recovers the database at any point in time.
Regards,
Given that when I saw the file, my Kobo had "crashed", seeing the journal was not a big surprise. After the processing new content had run sucessfully, the journal file disappeared.
