Also, it only generates the images that are appropriate for the firmware version.
If it dumps all the images in the .kobo/images folder, then it won't be able to store enough images for a large library of books as there is a limit to how many files are permitted in the images folder (7-8000ish as I recall). This is what I was doing originally, but with 3000 books, and 3 images needed for each, it was over the limit of allowed images.
