Convert for two devices

Is it possible to keep an ebook conversion for two devices?

I noticed that the conversion for ipad appears different on a phone and I want to try and make the phone version look better

Remove all formatting, that way it will look the same (bad) on both

Use other than the same format. eg Mobi and EPUB for the devices (different viewer required)
Create a second Library for the other device

Library (icon): Switch-Create: Create an empty at a new location: be sure (in this case) to tic the box

after you switch back to the original (use the Library icon), you can select books: right-click: copy to Library (I believe 'delete' is NOT wanted )

Note: there is only 1 config folder PER USER logon, so if you want a quick and dirty set of alternate (conversion) settings, Logon as a different user and custom that ones default device (the welcome wizard).

IMHO
A lot of work just to squint at a phone
