calibre embeds webkit, so it should be pretty good at handling most things.

Unlike your average ereader, calibre has the flexibility to fully utilize web-based rendering.

I believe calibre does handle multimedia ebooks.

Regarding the AZW3 format, never mind that, it is mostly irrelevant to the topic at hand. FYI, AZW3 is the new format exclusively, although MOBI can be either original MOBI or a dual-MOBI with AZW3 content and a MOBI fallback.

And yeah, the only issue is, I am guessing, the DRM. You should get a popup in the ebook-viewer saying the book has DRM, if so. And conversions should fail with a traceback leading to DRMError.
