I agree JSWolf, thanks for the warning. Actually it is even worst than that, passing epubcheck doesn´t mean that it will work on my kindle.

I did only a first and brutal 5 minutes run to check whether my PC started issuing some smoke or refused to work or if I needed to learn another gaz-factory software. There was no surprise, the formatting was not 100% good, it would have been a miracle. But the results were very promising.

After a brief check out, watching some of their online videos, If you start an eBook directly with the tool and respect the rules, it should work. This is not my case, I want to reuse the word files I did in the past, these files were all formatted/styled in the same way. If I am able to create my frst mobi mannually, I will be able to reproduce it, then systemize it.

OK, stop dreaming. A more structured evaluation starts now and I am prepared to face some problems. I have to understand how the tool works, specially the CSS stuff. From there, evaluate how much do I need to clean up my word files, how much do I have to regex, etc. The usual fun.
