The real solution is to just give people the choice. Everyone's workflow is different enough that there can't really be a "one-size-fits-all" program. I'd be ecstatic if we moved away from being forced to use certain software because so-and-so needs a proprietary file format that only this piece of software supports.

Agreed. The fact that Kindles still don't read epubs is aggravating.
There's a trick for that. Rename the epub to <something>.png and email it to your kindle address. It'll convert it!

It's weird that Amazon doesn't support epub conversion officially but this trick has worked for years.

Of course calibre is also an option but I usually use this method because it's so simple.
