LibreOffice really isn't the tool for this.  Although you can convert to
epub with some plugins, they really aren't very comprehensive and not
worth the time, tbh.

If you're looking to backup your DRM'd books, then I suggest Calibre
with the DeDRM plugin.  Calibre is an ebook reader and library manager
that will convert books to a variety of formats.  It'll also allow you
to use LO and Word files as part of your library collection or convert
them to e-book format.

Why would you want to read ebooks in an office suite, when there are
already many apps for that task?

BTW, other than library books, I try to avoid DRM.  I don't have a
single DRM book that I own a copy of.  The books I buy, I get from
O'Reilly, which are DRM free.

Yeah, kinda OT, but Calibre is the best program for this.  you can even 
e-mail your books to your Kindle.
