It's worked for me in the past, did they change something? I used to just change the cover and put it on my Kindle. Always Penguin books. But I admit I haven't done that in a long time. Now I always do the conversion, since I have everything set to look how I want it.

Sorry for giving bad info!

To the OP: What's wrong with the way the book looks when doing the conversion? Maybe you just need to tweak the settings a bit so it looks like you want?
