Mobi to epub is actually pretty simple, since mobi is based on the Open eBook standard and epub is a further extension of the same standard. Both use a subset of XHTML, with epub supporting more than mobi.

Going the other way can be more difficult, as there are things you can do in epub layout that you can't do in mobi layout, as well as other features that are missing in mobi (TOC, for example). But very few books are so complicated as to cause a problem.
