Having to do a DOCX->MOBI (tablet)->EPUB (tablet) conversion to retain the original image sizes rather DOCX->EPUB (tablet) doesn't seem right to me.

IIRC there are 'things' you can do in DOCX and EPUB that you can't do in MOBI. So you could lose something along the way.

There are a couple of other tools that will convert DOCX to EPUB that you might want to try, Sigil's DOCXImport plugin, and Toxaris' e-Book Tools Word add-in.

Thanks a lot BetterRed and kovidgoyal!

I will check these tools out!

I tested the 2 mentioned tools but they do not fulfill my requirements, e.g. they partly change the formats/styles of the text.

So I will stick with Calibre (which basically does everything what I want/need), I think I just need some last tweaks in order to get the result I want.
In regard of the image size in the output files, I will prepare 2 different word files with different image sizes (one for the epub and one for the mobi, since they interpret the image size differently).
