Actually, magika does tell you quite well what you need to know. .yjf could be something comparable to a JPEG, .kfx seems to be very similar to a BMP image. .meta seems to be just a JSON text file. .mf could be too, but at least it will be a text file. The rest is unknown binary data you'll probabl

First weapon of choice when trying to convert document formats would be pandoc. Have a look at it, it can handle quite a lot of formats. Other than that, there are guides like this [1], but it looks to me that you should just stick to LaTeX, as it's the best solution for typesetting, especially eq

I generally go with epub. Epub files are the closer to a standardized format, whereas mobi is more proprietary. The other reason I prefer epub is that it is, in essence, html docs in a zip file format. You can unzip ,epub get a listing of html files: $ unzip -v The_Great_Commission_-_Steven_Lake.
