I apologize for not formulating the question clearly. My concern was not so much about saving disk space, because I understand that the conversion process means creating another copy (which will have to be stored on the PC's hard drive).

Since I'm a relatively new Calibre user, my main concern is whether the program will freeze / become corrupted because there are "duplicate" copies of the same book in Calibre's database. In other words, will I somehow create problems for myself by having both an .epub and an AZW version of the same title within Calibre? Or does the program cope just fine with this situation?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
