I don't use calibre to convert from epub to AZW3 or mobi. I do use a couple of programs to check how the file will look on Amazon devices (Kindle Previewer 3 for instance) but for the most part, I try to deliver a decent looking epub and the author is responsible for uploading it to Amazon. I have had a couple of times where I have corrected issues after the upload to Amazon has revealed those issues but those are relatively rare and were related to conversion to mobi.
One item to note is that this is not my profession. It started when one author whom I knew asked me to help with problems converting an OCRed copy of a pbook into a decent ebook after the rights reverted. This has resulted in some referrals but I try to keep those limited in number. My day job as a network/system administrator is time consuming enough though being paid to play with your favourite toys does make it easier to get up and head to work each day.
