@BR: There is a difference between your request and this -- your was to not create a new book entry in the library, this is to not create an additional format on an existing book entry.

Aah, yes. I have a vague memory I may have asked about this myself a long, long time ago.
What I did was to create script that I can run from the book folder, it ebook-converts the selected format file (eg EPUB), to another format (eg MOBI) in a selected 'AutoMail' folder. My mail client sends content of 'Automail' folders periodically (in fact twice a day) - bit like calibre's 'AutoAdd' feature.
I send things other than ebooks to the same people, eg spreadsheets, diagrams etc, so doing this way is more better for me.
Maybe the OP could do something similar.
If I were to retain all the MOBI's in the library it would be upwards of 50GB - not that that's much in the 'grand scheme' of things.
