azw3 is a still a superior format for conversion. You might want to look at jhowell's description of the files that make up a KFX ebook. I've tried converting several ebooks where I had access to the epub, azw3 and KFX formats. Both epub and azw3 converted to other formats very cleanly whereas KFX lost some of the formatting information during some of the conversions. Not quite as bad as converting PDF but not the format I would choose as a starting point. BTW, for most azw3/KF8 ebooks, I use the KindleUnpack plugin to extract the epub from the azw3 file. If the extracted file makes epubcheck go wild, then I will do a conversion otherwise I use the extracted epub.
