I would advise producing
* a PDF version that's just a PDF version of the print document, with any illustrations reduced to 96dpi. This is the easiest to do. Don't forget that it doesn't need much in the way of margins.
* an ePub version. This will be useful to all non-Kindle owners, and you can easily produce it with Sigil
* a combined Mobi/KF8 kindle version. Unless you're doing really fancy layout in the ePub, you can generate this from the ePub using KindleGen, and then use the KindleStrip python script to make it a sensible size by stripping the copy of the source ePub from the final book. This combined format will work on any Kindle device or software, with newer ones using the more capable KF8 format, and older ones the mobi version.
