Bug Description
When I make an EPUB to EPUB conversion, the original EPUB changes format to ORIGINAL_EPUB. When it has changed format to ORIGINAL_EPUB it is not possible to convert or edit it with calibre anymore. Also, when removing the new EPUB that was created from the original EPUB, shouldn't ORIGINAL_EPUB be change back to EPUB? Wouldn't it be better if the filename would change instead of the format, e.g. when converting an EPUB to a new EPUB, the original would change filename by adding _original_epub to the filename, not changing the .EPUB extension?

This is by design, original_epub serves as a backup, making it easy to
change is incompatible with that purpose. You want to edit the original
epub you first restore it by right clicking on it in the Book detail
panel and choosing restore.
