Calibre will read epub format books, so if it says that your file is corrupt then that is what the problem is.
.mobi is only really supported by kindle, though I think that Calibre can convert that format into another. Like John, I have a preference for DRM free content, so I buy all of my technical ebooks from either Oreilly or Packt. For non-technical books my choices are much more limited. The gutenburg project is a great source of public domain works (which I can still load onto my kindle). Unfortunately most of the time the really good books are locked behind a DRM scheme which makes the whole situation more complicated than it needs to be. With the constant lengthening of copyright in the US, we have not had a great of work released into the public domain for the past several generations. Best of luck.
