If you are sending covers to the device, then they are handled in exactly the same way. Other than kepub related things, the KoboTouchExtended driver is using KoboTouch driver.

But, covers in kepubs and epubs are handled differently on the device. For epubs, the first page is rendered and used as the cover. For kepubs, the cover image in the book is marked as a cover and extracted. That is one of the things the KoboTouchExtended driver does when changing the book to a kepub, it adds an extra property attribute that the device is expecting to the image marked as a cover. But, if there is no image correctly marked as a cover, that doesn't happen. As you are editing the books to fix this, it means the cover was not marked properly for the driver to see and hence the device to use.
