(bolding mine) I think you mean use calibre to convert mobi to epub.

Absolutely

@ paulvro,

Although Kobos can read some mobis they read epub (and kepub) much better. For an easy life stick with these 2 formats until you get more experience. If and when you start to use calibre it is very simple to convert mobi (without DRM) to epub.
