Once you've got the ePub, you can clean it up using Sigil or Calibre's ebook editor. I believe that Sigil won't be maintained in future, so Calibre's editor might be your best bet. You can also use Calibre to convert the finished ePub to Mobi for uploading to Amazon.
Thanks Russell. I didn't know Calibre could convert .odt to .epub. It adds a little css style sheet but that is easily overcome. And I'm liking the Calibre ebook editor more and more. And the Mobi looks good. Is it--do you know--as reliable as the Mobi produced in Kindle Previewer?

I'm thinking I could live with your method. Thanks very much for sharing it.
