I just really, really don't like doing repeated lossy conversions, regardless of how "evil" and proprietary a format might be, as long as some solution exists and will continue to exist for as long as the python programming language continues to exist, which would allow me to create all the open formats I like without throwing away valuable data (said valuable data being still unfortunately locked away in a proprietary format).

If you do it correctly, going KF8 > ePub is a lossless process. You use KindleUnpack to shift the Kf8 to ePub. Then you load the ePub into Calibre's eBook editor and fix any technical errors. Once that's done, you have an ePub that's the same as the KF8. The XML code is the same and the CSS is the same. So really it's as lossless a conversion as possible.
DON'T CONVERT KF8 TO EPUB! USE KINDLEUNPACK TO SHIFT THE CODE TO EPUB!
