My problem- I like supporting the small epublishers- I find they have new talent - I dont want to be wed to either Amazon's kindle store or b&n via the nook. I have most of the ebooks in mobi format- so the question what is the next best step- one I want to buy today- is there a converter to take the older mobi/prc files to epub? or any suggestions?
Yes, you can convert the files to Epub with calibre.

Rather than convert, I would recommend that you go back to your sources and try to find the same titles in another format. If you can find them in MSReader, the quality of the images and meta data will be much higher. Older versions of Mobipocket have small images and no author in the meta data.
