Although I have used calibre for a while now to send books to my Kobo Glo, I am still a bit of a noob, and I am looking at getting an ipad shortly (either full size or mini - not decided yet) and will want to put all my ebooks on there (they are all epubs).

As in the title of this thread I do not fully understand what 'send to device' does - does it merely send the epubs in their current form or do I need to change the output format in preferences (which is currently set to Kobo) to ipad for it to format the epubs for that particular device, and if so does it then change the copy held in my calibre library on my PC (which I do not want it to do)?

I suppose the short question is if I just send to device as is on an ipad will they look right ?
