Also note that LibreOffice runs on mac, and has several extensions that are useful for exporting reasonably good xhtml as well as epubs directly.

Namely, the extensions writer2epub, writer2latex, and writer2xhtml (ver 1.1.7 or greater).

If I were doing the conversion, I would start by using LO with Writer2Epub to open the doc file and make an epub directly. If it needed tweaking (e.g. hyperlinks) I would use Sigil to edit the epub itself.

Once the epub is to my liking, I use kindlegen or Calibre to convert the epub to a mobi.

Note that if you want an in-line TOC in your mobi, Calibre will generate it automatically, whereas kindlegen will not.
