Photography is also one of my hobbies, as is video editing, and I'll admit I'm completely anal when it comes to correct aspect ratio in photos and any movie or TV show or video. And there the bands along the top or sides from letterboxing or pillarboxing are
much preferable to any distortion or zooming in and I don't mind them at all. The bands are a nice solid black though on TV screens, but they're white on ereaders, which makes it that much worse for me (last time I checked at least). I only read fiction, so I've never had a circle on a cover image where I'd notice any distortion, I'd say 99% of my covers are not photos so I really don't notice a difference.

How do I select between epub and kepub sending in kobotouchextended?

Checking B&W just saves you some space on your reader, color images are usually larger in size, which is just wasted space since they're displayed only in B&W.
To send epub to your reader, you need to enable the plugin "KoboTouch (2.5.1) by David Forrester" under Plugins/Device interface plugins. To send kepub to your reader, disable the KoboTouch plugin, and enable the plugin "KoboTouchExtended (3.2.13) by JoelGoguen". You'll need to restart Calibre when switching between the 2 formats. The settings for each are pretty similar.
