Questions about converting epub to Kindle

I'd like to buy an ebook reader, and after looking at all the options, the wifi-only Kindle sounds like it may be the closest to what I'm looking for.

Its only major issue seems to be lack of epub support, and I from what I've read I can get around that fairly easily... but I do have a couple questions about how it works:
  • How do converted epub files look on the kindle? Would the appearance be the same as viewing the original file on a epub-compatible device? If not, how might it be different and how much of a problem is it? It's quite possible that the majority of my books would be converted epubs, so this is one of my largest worries.

  • Same question but opposite: how would official Kindle books look after being converted to epub? Would they look exactly the same? It would be nice to know I could switch to some other company's ereader in the future if I wanted to.

  • Also, is it easy to transfer books (both official Kindle books and converted epub files) through the USB cable rather than with the wifi?

Thanks! This community seems great from what I've seen so far and I hope to stick around.
