Everyone always recommends Calibre as THE program to use for format conversion, but I find it frustrating for that because it really wants to be a library management program with format conversion as an extra feature. So someone just wanting the conversion must deal with the library management stuff whether we want to or not.
It kind of reminds me of iTunes in that respect.
While I see the advantages of the library-management aspect, we really need an ebook format-conversion program that doesn't have all that baggage.

If you want ebook format conversion without the library management, Calibre can do that. You can use the command-line program ebook-convert (part of the Calibre install) for format conversion; you never even have to run the main library-management program.
