If the books are not DRM-encumbered, you can use (free) Calibre to convert between formats. If they are DRM-encumbered, you will have to strip the DRM off if you want to do any conversion. The legality of doing this varies by locality.

What he means to say is that stripping DRM is generally illegal in the United States.

Some people's minds are like cement; all mixed up and permanently set.

Or that it's worth opting for non-encumbered sources when given a choice.
