One last question. When the user removes the cover page from the epub, should he/she also remove the cover image file from the Images directory in Sigil as well?? If the answer is that it should also be removed then perhaps I should also add another plugin check to ensure that the original cover image file is also removed from the Images directory. My understanding is that the amazon product image will automatically be added to the epub Images directory on upload to KDP. Please let me know if I've got this wrong...
No. You leave the cover image in the images folder, otherwise, you'd a) run into issues with having assigned the cover metadata to it, and b) Kindlegen uses that image to then create the "cover image" in its proper place, inside the built mobi.

Right?
