If there is only an ORIGINAL_EPUB then you can't even get a conversion - see attachment

I agree with your last point.

I need to retest the other points. I did one re-convert & noted that front & back matter, copyright etc. pages were present & I usually edit those out after the initial convert. Maybe I picked a bad test case where I'd not done that....

RETEST RESULT - Sorry but you were wrong:

TEST process
1. pick any book where there is just the one epub format
2. run epub to epub - this creates the original-epub format
3. now edit that book - type in THIS IS A TEST at start of chapter 1
4 redo point 2.
5. open book in editor - the text added in 3. is not there

so step 4 DID use original-epub as source
