I'm thinking I could live with your method. Thanks very much for sharing it.
Once you get the finished EPUB, convert using kindlegen rather than calibre. Sometimes Amazon complains if it sees a book created by calibre. They look the same, basically, but are coded a little differently. Now that I come to think of it, though, you can also upload the EPUB itself to Amazon, and they will handle the conversion themselves.
