thank you.
Your Kindle is not able to handle ePub. So when you send an ePub to your Kindle, Calibre is converting it to mobi. You are in fact reading it in mobi format and not ePub.

But it is a bit silly to convert mobi to ePub only to convert back when you send to your Kindle. Best just leave them in mobi.
