While I have been playing around with the output format, I wonder as an enhancement, if it could be used to determine which format gets sent to the device? At the moment if I have both LRF and EPUB, then the LRF always gets sent to the device. The View button allows you to choose what format to view, but I can see how this is not really sensible for the Send button because all the existing send options would have to be doubled up.
The output combo wouldn't just control the output format, but also the primary format you are targetting, e.g., for viewing, sending etc.
I guess this is getting into re-design territory; at the moment the ebook is the first level item in calibre, whereas with the increasing number of formats and conversions it is supporting, then perhaps the first level item should be a particular format within an ebook. Then we could do things like convert from one arbitrary format to another (assuming the conversion was supported). So things like any2lit would be supported in the UI straight off.
