AFAIK, epub3 apps are supposed to also support epub2 books, and I haven't encountered an epub3 app that wouldn't read epub2 books.
Some epub apps, e.g. ADE 4.5/RMSDK 11.5 will actually use different rendering engines for epub2 and epub3 books.

There's a
Sigil plugin that'll automatically convert epub2 books to (epub2 compatible) epub3 books. However, unless you want to take advantage of epub3-only features, e.g. page numbers, (popup)
* footnotes, advanced semantic features for readers with disabilities etc., it'd rather pointless to convert your epub2 books to epub3 books.
* Popup footnotes aren't actually part of the epub3 specs. It's up to the developer how to render them.
