Assuming emacs keybindings, you can do:

ebook-convert *<TAB>{,.epub}

(where <TAB> will expand the glob)

or

ebook-convert * *<Ctrl+X>*.epub

(where "<Ctrl+X>*" is the default binding for the expand-word widget, which will expand the glob)

or even

() { for 1; do ebook-convert $1 $1.epub; done } *

which, unlike the previous examples, works for any number of files.  (It's an anonymous function with arguments.)
