I don't have a Kindle. My wife is a published author on Amazon and 
Barnes & Noble for e books. She presently has some one format her books. 
i was testing sigi and calibre to save her some money. i took one of her 
books that was formatted as e pub first and converted it to mobi. I am 
now waiting for here to load it on her Kindle. If all goes well i will 
look at formatting one of her word documents as a e pub and then convert 
it too mobi.

Thanks for your suggestion
