Convert .pub to other formats

I read ebooks on my PC right now. Buying a Kindle. I have ebooks in .pub format, but it is very basic. I would like to view the ebooks with the chapter headings and correct paragraphs, etc.

How can I convert the .pub books to something like Word or other format that has these features.

I am a real rookie, know nothing about ebooks.

E-books, both Kindle and ePUB, can have correct paragraphs and so on. It depends on the source of the books and the one who created/edited the book. As with printed books, some put more attention to the books than other. That is irrelevant of the format actually.

Welcome to MR.

BTW, you need to be aware that ".pub" and ".epub" are NOT the same. In fact that aren't even similar.

Historically, there have been several applications that use the ".pub" extension for their native files, all using a different data format. The most common, and only recent app, is MS Publisher. There are ways to convert these to other formats, but not by using calibre.
