After you've all explained to me how to do it
You don't have to convert the EPUB beforehand because when the computer is connected to a Kindle and you tell Calibre to 'send to device' it'll ask permission to convert the file before sending it (since Calibre is smart enough to detect that it's an EPUB and knows that it needs to be a MOBI).
