One directory always has the originals, the other those ready to read and if the conversion directory is clean, there is nothing new to convert.

But, I do have a question -- if I have an epub, what is the best way to convert it to mobi?
You don't need a second batch file, just a second line in the one you start with, unless you need to do this independently of the first task.

To convert an ePUB to mobi download the latest version of the Windows Mobipocket Reader and then you can simply drag the epub file to the reader icon.
