As a former Kindle user my entire library was in AZW3, and I recently converted them all to EPUB. With the new plugin would I convert to KEPUB via Calibre? To complicate things I noticed several different plugins - an "extended driver" plugin as well as an input / output conversion plugin for KEPUB.
Any advice on how to proceed or should I just stick with EPUBs for now?
Thanks!

I *hope* that you have a base format in your library; a format all the other ones come from? You're not converting from (original) AZW3, then to EPUB, and then to KEPUB and so on, always keeping only the last version? That will land you into much trouble some day.
My own library has EPUB as a base format. If I add a book that is not originally in EPUB (such as the old ones on the free Baen CD's), then I convert it. Even when I buy a book from Amazon in AZW3 to read on the Kindle, I put it into Calibre, convert it to EPUB, then clean it up where needed, and throw away the AZW3 (after saving the first, downloaded original somewhere else, outside of Calibre). Then I convert that EPUB back into AZW3... or KEPUB... or whatever format I may need in the future.
I never ever touch the EPUB again, except to add/fix metadata or mistakes. Every other format always comes from these EPUBs.
