Today, I just came across the "Embed metadata" button, in Preferences -> Toolbars & menus -> Main toolbar.
Are the two methods practically the same thing? If they are, I suppose the second option is much quicker than having to manually convert each book and then delete the original file, like I did all these years!
Can someone please confirm that these are the same though?

They're not the same. Convert will do lots more than Embed Metadata.
But if you're changing the cover as well as metadata, I don't think Embed Metadata will do what you want - I don't think it'll change the cover.
I use the "Polish books" to both update the metadata, and update the cover image in the book.
