I am using calibre quite a long time and still find the approach to conversion a bit awkward, maybe the dev(s) can think about it. this is mainly about autoconversion:
the situation for most users is this, I think: you have a kindle and some other device, which most of the time can display books in epub format. so, whenever you import a book into the library, in the end you need these two formats.
right now, the autoimport menu reads: "automatically convert added books to the current output format". Nowhere is specified what the current output format is, experience tels me it is the format last converted to - and this may change, so this option is a bit useless.
why not instead have an option:
automatically convert books in these formats:
[X ] mobi
[X] epub
[ ] ...
and whatever format you import, in the end you have books converted into these formats?
