There are two places where conversion options can be set in |app|. The first is in Preferences->Conversion. These
settings are the defaults for the conversion options. Whenever you try to convert a new book, the settings set here

You can also change settings in the conversion dialog for each book conversion. When you convert a book, |app| remembers the

Note that the final settings for each book in a Bulk Conversion will be saved and re-used if the book is converted again. Since the
highest priority in Bulk Conversion is given to the settings in the Bulk Conversion dialog, these will override any book specific
settings. So you should only bulk convert books together that need similar settings. The exceptions are metadata and input format specific
settings. Since the Bulk Conversion dialog does not have settings for these two categories, they will be taken from book specific
