The internal content of a KF8/azw3 file is very similar to EPUB so it is a fairly straightforward task to create an EPUB from it.

The content inside of the older MOBI format is based on a subset of HTML3. This needs extensive changes to turn it into a proper EPUB, which is something that would out of place in this plugin. It is better handled by calibre's conversion function.
