Can the Apprentice Alf plugins for Calibre de-DRM Nook EPUB's?

If so, then there is no problem, and Calibre can readily convert them to AZW3. I've been buying EPUBs from all over the place (but not Nook/B&N; can't shop there, as I'm in the "wrong" country). After de-DRM-ing, which happens automatically while importing the books into Calibre, they convert to AZW3 just fine. Calibre even does it in the background, unnoticed, while loading the books onto the Kindle.

I've never had layout problems; if there were, the problem was in the original EPUB already.

(By the way: I do maintain a seperate backup of all my de-DRM-ed books. After importing them into Calibre, which gets the DRM off them, I'll save them to disk outside the Calibre folder, and stuff them away somewhere safe, just to be sure.)
