With my Kobo it somehow manages to generate KePub without saving it, so maybe it is possible for someone to figure out how to do something similar with Kindles. If ePub was the source, that's really the only format I would like to keep around.
The conversion on the fly is done by the KoboTouchExtended driver and basically, converting ePub to kepub is a pretty trivial modification. For other formats, the calibre pipeline converts the book and saves it before sending to the device. calibre could be modified to delete the file after it is sent, however considering the size of the average ebook file compared to a modern hard drive, it does not appear to have made anyone's to-do list.
