If you can pass the clunky interface and cryptic error message from that badly designed app.

Yes the UX design is very poor, but the core conversion functionality works well once you figure out how the awful GUI works. The `ebook-convert` commandline tool is just fantastic though. It has a very straight forward interface.

    ebook-convert input_file output_file [options]
And there isn't very much impedance mismatch between mobi and epub, so the conversion back and forth between the two will almost always be high quality.
