Which is best for converting DOCX to EPUB? Pandoc, LibreOffice, or Calibre?

In my experience, Pandoc doesn't preserve all the color and formatting. Calibre and LibreOffice do. Calibre, however, doesn't preserve comments and inline things, but LibreOffice does. So, LibreOffice (probably ∵ of it's extensive Doc format parsing abilities) is the best to convert to EPUB, and it outputs EPUB 3`s by default.

Calibre has worked well for me, but depending on how much special formatting, images, etc. you have, you'll need to do a lot of touch-up work. You may end up wishing you just started from scratch.

But having done a project like that once, I think it was still easier to convert using Calibre then make adjustments and changes.

I have not used PanDoc. LibreOffice is worth trying, too. Try both LibreOffice and Calibre and see which is better. They're both free, and both simple to use.
