Or is there some setting I have to change?
You don't need to switch. The hint is in the name, "extended". Most of the function in the extended driver is supplied by the KoboTouch driver. But, they are configured separately.

Good.

The drivers do not automatically update the covers. They are sent to the device when you send books to the device. And it does not update the book. It sets the images used in the UI including the sleep cover. If you want to update the covers for books already on the devices, you can use my Kobo Utilities plugin.
