I've also wished the calibre ebook editor - which can edit both azw3 and epub - had a "save as" function, so you could start out editing one, save it, then "save as" the other. (I currently read azw3 on a PW4, but make sure everything in calibre is also saved as the equivalent epub just in case I decide to switch to an epub reader).

Anyway, I haven't been motivated to try to tackle a calibre plugin for this, so I just convert.
The reverse can be done by KindleGen. But after the conversion, you may want to use KindleUnpack to split the dual-format mobi so your eBooks don't take up a lot of extra space.
