I also configured the kobo driver in calibre to have cover sent for futur book.
Yes to all that. But, there is one added twist. A few cover images are cached in memory. If you replace the cover image, you might not see it displayed until it is either removed from the cache or the device is restarted. The latter is usually the quickest way if you replace the cover for the book you are currently reading.

concerning the way to add a cover on the first page, what do you mean by : "The simplest way to do this is using the Polish books".... polish books ??
"Polish books" is a function in calibre to make some changes in the book in the library without doing a full conversion. The toolbar button for it looks like a brush. When you press the button, a dialog with several options is displayed. One is to add or change the cover. If the Polish books button isn't on your toolbar or menu, you will need to go into the preferences and add it.
