Then you can send both versions to the device and they will be treated as different books. Then you can swap between them with no problems.

in the rare case that a conversion seems problematic, or is causing one or more devices to glitch, then I re-add the original book to calibre & append "original formatting" to the title. that way I don't have to wrestle with original_epub formats and I can see what happens when unedited book meets device.
instances:
Stephen King:Wizard & Glass - which had some very convoluted chapter headers code
other books ( I forget which ones) where
chapter was used as a style class name, thus confusing calibre on its default conversion settings. One side effect of that glitch can be that chapters get split into 2 files, one with just the header, one with everything else.
