Hi!

Thanks for the prompt response.

I am publishing an eBook from InDesign as eNovel.epub and I want to convert it to Kindle format, eNovel.mobi. I have art that is all set and along with the metadata shouldn't change.

The only thing that will be updated will be updates to eNovel.epub that I'll want to reconvert. As I experiment with the formatting that works in InDesign (where I create the master document), I can see having many updates. My goal is to leave the ePub ZIPPed files completely untouched.

I was just trying to understand how the workflow would work without having to create a new book each time in calibre.

Thanks for any further advice!
Ken
