The only format conversion that tends to introduce textual errors is converting from PDF to something else, because a PDF file doesn't contain "text" at all, and the conversion tool has to "reconstruct" the page from what are basically graphical components.

Conversion between "text" formats - ePub, Lit, Mobi, etc - should be "lossless" as far as the actual text is concerned. You may, however, lose formatting in the process.
