converting to "same" format - any side effects?
as I currently understand things there are a couple of reasons for needing to convert to same format e.g. to run mobi to mobi or epub to epub.
one is to force the inclusion of metadata which was edited or downloaded after book was added to library.
the other is to force the application of header/footer rules or any other custom rules
so to check my understand lets say I've added a book in both formats and now want to force both of the above events -
1. is convert to same format the "proper" way to do it, or is one format intrinsically "better" and thus should be used as source both times ? does converting to "same" format apply the header / footer rules ?
2. will anything be downgraded - as I understand things the conversion will go e.g. out of mobi to an intermediate format, than back into mobi -so is anything lost in that process ? ( my mental analogy is with video formats - where this would be a bad thing )
