As far as I can tell it is the recommended way. But, I am not an expert. My fiddling with epubs is purely for my own benefit. Hopefully one of the experts will comment.

I just updated the Kobo iOS app (forgot to do it), and the mini-cover is still not generated when NOT using SVG so I guess I will go with SVG for now unless you guys tell me a good reason not to do so?

Thanks again.

Edit: The books already in the app didn't change after the update. But, just in case, I re-uploaded the same old version of the book and the cover now appears! Still a mystery to me, though. And at this point I'm not too sure what I should do: use SVG to be sure that most people get the cover generated in the library?
It might have been a bug in the old version that wasn't generating the covers properly for the library. The Kobo ereaders generate the covers the first time they are used and then save them for later use. If the iOS app does something similar, it might have generated a default cover and only regenerated it when the new copy of the book was uploaded.
