Hi folks, I have yet to be successful in using Calibre to convert from kindle format to PDF (for personal use, just want to mark things up).

Once you've removed the DRM and gotten an actual epub file that you can save and backup, you can then read it in whichever e-reader application or physical e-reader you want which supports e-pub files (which is almost all of them - some stuff from Amazon being pretty much the only exception).

Fortunately, for all four of those sites, it's possible to remove the DRM (FAQ here). That also means that if you lose access to your account (or that service goes away), you lose access to all of your books. All of them normally use DRM that makes it so that you can only read their books via whatever mobile app or PC application they provide or physical e-readers that they sell. The main sites for buying e-books in English would be Kobo, Amazon, B&N, and Google Play Books.
