FWIW: Send-to-Kindle no longer accepts .mobi format, but requires ePub, which is then converted to Kindle's proprietary AWZ format. This is fairly recent. So, no conversion needed OR helpful. You can send ePub straight to Kindle (assuming that you are using Send-to-Kindle). As far as the cover art, etc., your mileage may vary. I've had some covers show up perfectly from ePub sends to Kindle. Some don't. I suspect the difference may be some undocumented/poorly documented requirement regarding image size/resolution. Some work fine, some not at all. If you are trying to read locally stored/side-loaded books on the Kindle reader, I don't think it will read ePub directly.
