I committed to the epub format before downloading my first ebook. So far I've had no reason to revisit the decision, until now.

I came across Kindlematch recently. Currently I have 10-20 ebook matches, but that seems probable to increase over time to 100+. At $2-$3 versus $8-$12 for "retail" (epub) versions, it seems worth considering.

I would still use one epub reader, and depend on Calibre to convert whatever formats come in, into epub.

I have no idea how fraught with difficulty that/those format conversions are. How much can I count on usable results using a purely automatic process? I don't want to spend time fiddling with each book.
