well I changed all the books on my current reading list form the Mdash style to the spaces+ndash style - but ended up changing them all back again after some test reading on Kindle!
The discussion has made me too conscious of the fact that I should be seeing mdash, I guess.
still - it did demonstrate that you can switch styles in less than 1 minute per book using find / replace.
I toyed also with the ideas of switching all mdash to ndash then making a 2nd pass to restore any constructs ending in a quote i.e. to put back all —", so that there would be no stranded end " marks, but did not actually implement that.
