The calibre manual says that it converts to xhtml, then it converts to whatever output format you specified. But on the other hand, if you look at what epub looks like inside it looks to me like it's a close relative to xhtml.
My current strategy when downloading books from public domain/free sites is to download epub whenever that's available and then when sending the book to the kindle have calibre convert it to azw3. With azw3 the kindle displays the book as I've specified in the theme I made which is ragged right and the custom font cambria (which looks very similar to bookerly except it's about a point smaller and looks crisper on my computer monitor).
So now that I have a clear path I have a lot of work re-downloading a bunch of books that I didn't download in epub format (either mobi or the old azw).
