Calibre (stylised calibre) is a cross-platform open-source suite of e-book software. Calibre supports organizing existing e-books into virtual libraries, displaying, editing, creating and converting e-books, as well as syncing e-books with a variety of e-readers. Editing books is. Preparing (What You Need) Calibre 5 and DeDRM plugin v7.1.0 (Or dedrm v6.8.1 for calibre 4). Given how much Calibre is almost consensually praised, I thought its ability to convert between Kindle, PDF, EPUB, etc. Formats would be top-notch. So I have used it for years, despite the fact that using it to convert formats (using default settings) would usually leave significant formatting errors throughout the resulting converted document.
