I've been using a Nook, but have just bought a Kindle Fire.

This demands conversion to AZW3 for everything, which Calibre handles beautifully.

I'd like to find out however if there is a way to NOT save the converted AZW3 file after it is sent to the Kindle.

My long term plans do not envisage staying with Kindle, so I have no desire to keep the AZW3 files as well as the existing EPUB's. As I only copy 20 to 30 books at a time to my device and this lasts me a long time, re-converting in the future is not an issue.

And, yes I know I could manually delete them.

Many thanks
