I'm proofing on an iPad with the Kindle App and MobipocketReader for the PC and they look pretty cool if I dont say so myself but have I missed something out that I'm not aware of?

Forgot to mention - I didn't rename the paragraph styles from the original source files (InDesign) so they are called all sorts of things (subsubsubhead etc.) that previous designer thought up
Your kilometerage may vary, but I would plan on doing some cleanup on any automatic conversion or export from InDesign (have you tried the free Amazon plugin for ID?). That means editing HTML.

For example, I like ebooks whose chapter headings link back to the 'inline' TOC. It really improves navigation, particularly on Kindle. But calibre will create not create such anchors.

Calibre is a great tool, but I would not consider it part of a quality eBook production workflow. A great list of ebook production resources can be found here:
