I'll use my words carefully.
Yes, calibre can convert from (almost?) any source format to any target format.
You either can manipulate the settings manually, or use the presets of calibre.
Results usually will be great. Personally, I only had troubles with PDFs as source files.
BUT: Kindle books of course are copy protected.
Here you can do 2 things:
a.) Remove DRM (Digital Rights Management = copy protection) manually, then run through calibre.
b.) Add the respective plugins to calibre and let calibre do the rest.
And: That's the mere technical description. Legal issues aside.
Don't worry: It may sound complicated. But when checking the right websites, all you have to do is install python and run some batch files.
