However, calibre should be able to. I have converted mobi to mobi within a single book, resulting in two mobi format files in the same book entry: MOBI, ORIGINAL_MOBI
Therefore it is possible, just not allowed when importing from an outside source. An additional drop down menu item should be added to the "Automerge added books if they already exist in the calibre library:...(1)Ignore...(2)Overwrite...(3)Create record...'NEW'(4)Add Duplicate Incoming Formats.

There have been many occasions where this would have saved me time. I have quite a large collection which I continue to populate with detailed metadata plus custom columns, I would love to be able to add duplicate formats to records until I can get around to dealing with them properly.

Thanks.
