Were it not its Calibre specific. It's not used by (at least my) eReader.

PS. I disabled the merge books options as it 'merged' an existing epub with a file with the same book from the same author. I have no clue what was changed/merged, so for now I have to keep checking titles/authors manually.

The bookmark file isn't used by my ereader either it is used by calibre's viewer, if you don't want the bookmark file inserted don't use calibre's viewer to view the ePub. Calibre doesn't require you to use its viewer to view ePubs. It is your choice.

Nothing was changed, the existing ePub took priority and the "merged" epub was dumped. But ultimately you have to follow procedures that are comfortable to you.

About merging... Yeah, my fault. The message on screen said the books were merged. I was unsure.

You can't disable the true Merge feature. You can enable/disable the autosort/automerge option (found in Adding Books under "If books with similar ....").

As you've realized, autosort/automerge never overwrites anything. It left your original book alone when it found a matching book with the same format (EPUB). The autosort/automerge option gives priority to an existing format over the new file with the same format. If you want that priority reversed to overwrite a format, you must open up the book record manually with Edit Metadata and drag/drop into the window in the upper right corner..

The final message you see during autosort/automerge is simply providing a list of all matching author (identical match) and closely similar titles (punctuation, spacing, capitalization and some indefinite articles "a", "the", etc. ignored) that were found for the list of books being processed. It doesn't specify whether the formats matched or not.
