Code:
ebook-convert file1.epub file2.epub
Gives the following error:



I can do this by converting first to .mobi, for example, then converting back to .epub, but this messes up some of the formatting in the original epub.

Is there a way to do epub to epub conversion using ebook-convert from the command line?
Put it in a different folder? I guess the GUI allows a cleanup pass (EPUB>EPUB) that the cmdline does not. Does it even do anything (changes) if no profile called?
