One does not need to passionately love post-processing stuff with Calibre. One just needs to not passionately hate it.

Although even without Calibre, getting ebooks in MOBI or AZW3 has never been a problem for me. Most DRM-free sites I've downloaded from (e.g. Gutenberg) provide downloads in multiple formats.

As for PDF, I wouldn't want to read it on e-ink smaller than ~10" class. I just stick to 10" class or bigger tablets for those (GoodReader on iPad preferred).
