How do you create content for the Kindle? I note that Amazon mentions its KindleGen program for converting HTML documents and also its plug-in for Adobe's InDesign program.

Apart from just straight text I am also curious about how Table of Contents are created and also popups or links to notes etc. I assume it's a matter of knowing what HTML tags to use... or perhaps there is more to it. Are there publishing programs lighter than InDesign which can be used... MobiPocket Creator perhaps?

Any help in this area will be greatly appreciated.
