The cover file is also not used. The devices generate the cover from the first page of all the formats other than kepubs. For these, the image file is extracted from the file.
You can prevent the extra files being created by changing option on the "Saving books to disk" page of the calibre preferences.

davidfor - wow, thanks for that info! I'm sure can tell by my questions I'm a newbie to e-readers and know next to nothing.
So, I followed your advice and went to "Saving books to disk" in the calibre preferences. I made changes by only checking the boxes 'Update metadata in saved copies', 'Show files in file browser after saving to disk' and 'Convert non-English characters to English equivalents'. Does that sound about right?
Thanks again.
