I'm not sure why but when I download some epubs and try to send to my kindle it fails. Only after using an online converter to convert them from epub to epub does it then work.

You might want to try running the EPUB through https://kindle-epub-fix.netlify.app/
This applies a few fixes for problems with EPUBs that the Send to Kindle service doesn't like.
Maybe a little less hassle than using some web thingy. Ebook-convert is a cli application that comes with Calibre, and is probably what the online sites are using anyway.
If I get an ebook that works with fbreader, but has issues on my nook, the above will fix it.
The "online site"/"web thingy" linked in another comment is
1. like 300 lines of code <https://github.com/innocenat/kindle-epub-fix/blob/master/scr...>
2. runs entirely in the browser and isn't using Calibre scripts or anything else
3. could pretty easily be modified into a downloadable program that runs from both the command-line or something that you can open in your browser
I've used Calibre with the KFX Output plugin for years, never had an issue with converting pirated epubs.
