I would desperately like to get my hands on the html file that was used to generate the user guide that came on our Kindles just so I can see what Amazon approved markup in the ebooks looks like. Failing that, I'm providing these files in the hopes that someone else doesn't have to go through the same hassle.

All of the files are based off of the original text file for the Project Gutenberg text 17972: Round About the Carpathians by Andrew F. Crosse

The final HTML files (and images) are attached below. The HTML file shows not only all the character encoding, but also all the specialty markup for Mobipocket ebooks (and for Kindle ebooks specifically)

I've posted the final results of all the above work in the Mobi/PRC Books forum

For the inevitable "contrast and compare", the free Mobipocket book that started this journey

As well as the Google Books scan showing what the book really looked like (in black and white)
