The worst conversion is from PDF to anything else. There will always be errors.

That said, I've converted from ePub, LIT, Mobipocket, and eReader (god awful crap of a format) without too much hassle (except for eReader). The problem is if you have a poorly made source. Sometimes you can get away with a poor source since the reader isn't too strict.
