What mtrahan said plus...

... some complex ePub formatting is lost or altered when converting to the older MOBI format. You'll often find that converting to AZW3 (the newer Amazon version) will yield better results. All of the current and recent Kindles, back to the Kindle 3 (aka Kindle Keyboard) support this newer version of the format.

With modern machines, conversion from ePub to either MOBI or AZW3 is quick and reasonably painless. Simply preset your conversion preferences.
