If I convert a book, on the main screen that shows the book cover, the original format is always listed first, then the conversion. I'm assuming that's Calibre's preference.

If I do put the formats into the library in a column, and list a converted book as an epub, and ignore the original format, will that be allowed or conflict with the data originally put in when importing the book?

Right now, if you search, the original file format is the one that is included in the search, not the converted one. IE:PDF, EPUB. EPUB does not show in a search for EPUB in the latter position.

Also, if you have a reader with no external storage, will Calibre download the books to a library on your own storage? I don't trust the cloud.

I'd like to store books from all vendors in one place on my own storage.

Thanks
Calibre does not Download anything except News.

Calibre DOES NOT currently work (official policy) with Networked storage.

Storage MUST be local and any Cloud replication MUST be suspended for the duration of the Calibre session. Structure damage can (and has) occurred. Recovery can be painful

You can Import books from your device if it connects AS A DEVICE (USB, CC or SDCARD reader) if they are not in the 'Protected Storage Section' on some devices.
