You can do that via the cli.
Or in the library GUI -- in which case you will end up with an ORIGINAL_FMT and a FMT.
The ORIGINAL_FMT is a backup and is used for future conversions to reduce the lossy nature of converting again and again.
I realize I'm putting my ignorance on public display, but I'm still not quite getting this. I just took an ePub file (actually generated from an AZW3, which itself came from a .DOC which went through the Send-to-Kindle process), and converted it to MOBI. I then used the Send-to-Kindle routine. It showed up on my account and my Kindle, but still w/o the cover art displayed.
