You get a few cleanup functions but basically lose the entire point of this driver. If you don't want the extended Kobo features at all I would recommend removing this driver, using the vanilla KoboTouch driver, and using other extensions which implement cleanup functions.

Have you tried installing the Generate Cover plugin and using that to create covers?

The Kobo device uses them internally for anything requiring location within a chapter.

Connect the device to calibre, open the device view (click the Device button that appears in the toolbar after the device is detected), highlight them all, and press the Delete key on your keyboard. If you're not sure which is which you could just delete them all then re-send the books you want.

Calibre stores the files internally as .kepub, but calibre only supports single extension files. The correct extension for a KePub file is indeed the double .kepub.epub extension. This allows seamless compatibility with any other ePub-capable reader (assuming you get a book without DRM of course).
