Yes, I would have thought it should be in the library with my .epub books, but it is not. I have done a search on the drive, and it doesn't appear to be anywhere. It is just lost.

I did the following:
1. I installed a vanilla Calibre install.
2. I started Calibre.
3. Added my .epubs to the library.
4. Clicked the CONVERT BOOKS icon on the menu bar.
5. Let the conversion run. At the end of the log file, it has a name of a .mobi file with a complete directory path. I assume this is the working file, and that it should copy the working file back to my library directory.
6. The .mobi file, working file or permanent, is no where to be found. I can find it during conversion if I watch the working directory, but at the end of conversion it disappears.
