HA! I normally convert as I buy but that was the epubs to AWZ3 for my PW... now I have to go the other way and switch the gazillion of AWZ3s to epub. I don't want to create a new library (I like having one place for all books). I have a custom column that tells me all of the formats I have for each book (this is a tag custom column, not the built in one from calibre) because I also want to know which books I have that are paperback or tagged as no format (series placeholders).

I've always wanted to have all of my books on my ereader, especially series, in case I needed to refer back to an older book when not at my PC... but I'm finding that I don't need to do that anymore - so I will be converting as I build my reading list for the month and loading those on the Fire.

As for re-conversion for format clean-up, that's a secondary project goal for myself for this year and I will likely go alpha by author starting sometime soon, maybe...
