I believe it does, did you try to prefix it with the start command.
Start /wait ebook-convert.exe ....
The /wait option if you're stringing together commands in the batch file.

C:\>start /?
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.
START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/WAIT] [/B]
- "title" Title to display in window title bar.
- path Starting directory
- B Start application without creating a new window. The application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt the application
- I The new environment will be the original environment passed to the cmd.exe and not the current environment.
- MIN Start window minimized
- MAX Start window maximized
- SEPARATE Start 16-bit Windows program in separate memory space
- SHARED Start 16-bit Windows program in shared memory space
- LOW Start application in the IDLE priority class
- NORMAL Start application in the NORMAL priority class
- HIGH Start application in the HIGH priority class
- REALTIME Start application in the REALTIME priority class
- ABOVENORMAL Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class
- BELOWNORMAL Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class
- WAIT Start application and wait for it to terminate command/program If it is an internal cmd command or a batch file then the command processor is run with the /K switch to cmd.exe. This means that the window will remain after the command has been run.
