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.

Yes, in my case the "base format" is always AZW3 - because 90% of my books are from Amazon.
In this case I did convert from Original AZW3 to EPUB - then let the extended driver do it's work to convert from EPUB to KEPUB when pushing the ebook to the Aura One.
Would this cause a problem? It was my understanding that the extended driver only works with EPUB, so I had to first convert from AZW3 to EPUB.
Is there a reason you prefer EPUB as your base format? Will there be a problem for me if I use AZW3 as my base format?
Thanks!
