Is there a way to have Calibre use these jpg files as the book cover on import?

Thanks!

if the format your device uses (i use mobi) stores the cover in the the same file as the rest of the book, and if you change the cover in calibre the cover won't be added to that file till you do a convert, even if it's just a same format to same format conversion.
