LOL! eschwartz, you seem to know me so well for someone who's never met me. I do indeed have a "bug about the impurity of converting"

I wouldn't even consider an e-reader until they came up with color versions (the Nook Color) so I could still have nice cover art.

@AnitainTN: Since you have a SGTN4-7 and prefer tablets, I'm pretty sure you can skip Calibre, KindleUnpack, Kindle for PC/Mac, Kindle device, etc. altogether and just download the free Kindle for Android app from the Google Play store onto your SGTN4-7 and read Kindlebooks that way (unless BN has blocked the Kindle app from working on Nook tablets?)
If you want an EPUB so you can load it into a 3rd-party EPUB reading app, both Calibre and KindleUnpack work fine.
I prefer KindleUnpack because if the publisher used an EPUB to create an AZW3, then KindleUnpack will produce an EPUB that's very close to the publisher's original file. This pleases me. If you convert it through Calibre, you get some extra Calibre code that I don't particularly care for. But as eschwartz notes, if you don't care about the internal code, it doesn't really matter
