PDF always wants a cover and I don't. There is no cover page on a recipe. Once I get the conversion to epub, I can simply delete the cover.
I need to make sure that the document/book I'm transferring is in epub. I don't trust it if no file format is listed in the columns.

1) PDF as a convert Middle ground just plain sucks
Good HTML will make a fine EPUB without the negatives introduced by PDF
All Formats show in details pane and Info popup
Calibre does not have any indicator on which format you started with although hovering over the format in the Metadata edit will give a timestamp
I made a custom column (text of preset values) to MANUALLY record the
input format> you can make one (tag type) for other if you must have a visible column.
Send to device will offer to convert an existing format (preferences: Behavior sets the priority) if a format compatible to the device (you can also configure the driver for priority) if it does not exist
