Wrong approach. The best-known format right now is EPUB2; you can basically convert TO it from everything, and FROM it into everything.

Therefore having every book as EPUB2 (base format) + the format you need at the moment is the best approach. My entire library is EPUB2. When I put stuff onto my (old) Kindle from 2012 I convert those books to AZW3, for Kobo I have then auto-converted to KEPUB by the KoboTouchExtended driver, and if I'd ever get a newer Kindle, those books would either convert to AZW3 or KFX.

At some point I remove all the non-EPUB versions from the library, but I never remove the EPUB2 version.

(Same with Music: I have everything in FLAC, but the music for use on my phone is converted to Opus. If I'd use a device somewhere that can only do MP3, I convert the FLAC to that. And if FLAC, as a lossless format, falls out of fashion down the line, I can convert from FLAC into the new de facto default lossless format.)
