Version 0.6.45 added some code I wrote that simplifies this. Just drag the new mobi format into the main screen and you're done. Or use any of the add book options that pull down next to the Add Books icon. The new format will be automatically added to the existing ebook record.
For this to work, you need the following:
The option in Preferences|Add/Save needs to be turned on. It's the one that says "If books with similar titles and authors found .."
Second, your book has to actually have a sufficiently similar author and title to the existing book. I prefer to leave the option to "read metadata only from filename" on, then make sure the regex will correctly read the author and title from the filename.
All 3 of these (2 options and regex) are on the same page: Preferences|Add/Save.
Kovid improved my code (as usual), by adding a notification of all mergers, and handling multiple authors better. He also changed it so it no longer overwrites formats you already have. (I preferred to overwrite older copies with the newer copy of the same format, but I understand why he preferred the opposite.)
