I felt like what might have made the big difference for my case was that when i took all my epubs/pdfs off my main memory and put them on a storage card, that the storage card started fresh and only had book related info on it. i really don't know if this is the reason, but when i looked at all the images saved on the internal memory...well there are something like 5000. it's like every time i had recommended books come at me, those were saved, everytime i searched in the kobo store, those were saved, etc, etc, etc. insane. but some other images that might be important...so i haven't just gone and deleted them all.
whereas my external drive has exactly 3x#of books on card.
You might have been hit by a bug in the driver. In one version, it sent covers to the main memory when books were sent to the SD card. If the image files on the main memory start with "file____mnt_sd", you can delete them. If you don't sideload any books to the main memory, you can also delete any images that start with "file____mnt_onboard".

Images for kepubs and recommendations and things from Kobo, will have a 22 character id. From what I have seen, these are cleaned up properly. If you delete these, the device will still be OK, but a blank or a dot will be shown for the cover of these books.
