AFAIK, the Kindle has no options for changing the display from simplified to traditional Chinese characters. Therefore the source text was most likely encoded to use simplified characters.
If you have a Kindle 3, you might want to check out the alternative Kindle OS
多看 2012 (Chinese site), which is developed by Chinese developers and features several IMEs, an English-Chinese StarDict dictionary and other features of interest to Chinese speakers. They also have a forum and I'm sure that some of their members must have encountered the same problem and already came up with an easy solution. (There's also an English
MR thread with more information).

It's unlikely, but another Chinese user might have created a conversion plugin.
I usually get more consistent results with non-Latin characters by first creating an ePub with
Sigil and then converting it with either
Kindlegen or Calibre.
Please find attached a simple test ePub that I created with Sigil and then converted with both Kindlegen and Calibre.
