Still need to know how to get the Mobi to default to a sans-serif rather than a serif font, though. Maybe this isn't possible. I'm not sure fallback styling coding will make a difference, but I very much appreciate your suggestions - I might take a look at the Wiki.

And I've read Guido's blog - he's a superhero.
writerkit:

I still don't know if you're making a K7 mobi or a K8, or both. I don't know which, so I don't know what to tell you. If it's a K7, then, no, you can't do it. If it's a k8, embed a sans-serif font or try to call one of the available sans serif fonts that are already on the Fire, Paperwhite, etc., devices.

And the KDP certainly accepts ebook files, both in ePUB and MOBI format, as well as zipped html and even prc files. I hope that helps.
