The extended driver does a little more with the kobo_extra.css. It will look in a configuration directory and if there is a file that matches the name expected, it will copy that to the root directory of the device. It uses the device name to build the file name it looks for, but the device part is removed when it is copied to the device. If the file isn't in the config directory, it won't copy anything and will use what is already on the device.

Nick: "root directory" always means the top most directory of the file system. For a Unix-like system, this will be "/". For Windows, it will be "C:" or "D:" or whatever for the drives on the computer. I would also never suggest putting non-Kobo files inside the ".kobo" directory. That is Kobo's province and they can do what they want there. Including cleaning up alien files. I don't think they do, but I wouldn't risk it for anything important.
