It sounds like epub to mobi works well for most everyone. But what about the reverse? I'd still want to keep a DRM-free epub backup of whatever I purchase from the kindle store. Is that conversion also generally successful? And is calibre still the best method for doing said conversion?
Yep I keep a epub and mobi version of all my books. I convert to epub from mobi all the time. It always turns out fine. KF8 to epub is even better because the formatting is so similar. You will find almost all Amazon Kindle books are KF8 these days. I own Kindles and Tablets with epub app so I have the best of both worlds!

There's a plugin called mobi unpack that extracts the epub from a KF8 without converting. It works great if the publisher made the Kindle book right.
