Sorry to insist david, but I'm trying to understand exactly how this works, as there still seems to be something missing... To summarise:
1. change the cover in Calibre: that just generates a new image file stored in the same folder as the epub
2. send to device (with cover options checked): Calibre will put the image file (properly renamed or modified) into the .kobo/images folder
3. when the book is opened: if there's nothing in the .kobo/images folder it will take the first page of the epub
4. if you want to change the first page of the epub, you have to install a plugin or software to do it

That still doesn't explain why in Calibre, the first page of my books is the old cover, but once I've sent to my KT (using Calibre), the first page is the new cover. I have not added a single plugin to Calibre, nor used any other software.
