I just used Calibre 7.7 for the first time since upgrading from 6.x.

When I clicked <send to device> I got the popup that asked "auto convert before sending to device?". I said "No" thinking the book probably didn't need converting.

When I went to my 505 to look for the book it wasn't to be found there.

So I once again clicked <send to device> and said "Yes, auto-convert". The book then appears to be on the 505 in good shape.

What happened to the book the first time when I said "No, don't auto-convert"? Where did it go?

If the auto-convert is necessary, why have the inquiry?

Any details on all of this appreciated!
