I figured it out. It seems that if in Pages you just make the text full justified then everything works fine. It is just text that is left-justified that reads wrong and splits the words on the Kindle. Not sure why.

So, if you have a Mac and Pages and Calibre you can easily get beautifully formatted documents in using this procedure:

USING PAGES & CALIBRE:

1. In Pages create the document using Styles to set up the TOC where you want breaks (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) Use the Inspector to setup the TOC and which styles will be displayed in the TOC.

2. ***Make sure all paragraphs are full justified alignment. For some reason left-justified text shows up on the Kindle but words are split at end of lines. Full justification seems to fix this.

3. Export file as ePub.

4. Import into Calibre and convert to MOBI format.

5. Send to Kindle.
