Not ePub. Mobipocket. You don't have to convert PDFs, as the Kindle will read them natively. If you want to convert them, the conversion from youremail@free.kindle.com tends to be better, but files that have tables and other graphics will not convert well. (The Kindle user manual is quite well written and gives instructions for converting via Amazon)

There are a series of plugins that you can find for Calibre that will assist you in liberating your ebooks. Google Apprentice Alf.
