Creating an EPUB wih calibre and using kindlegen or directly uploading the EPUB is not a problem according to what I've heard.
Thanks eschwartz. That clarifies things. And it's certainly easy enough to use Kindlegen in the command line the way you showed me. (I'm still a little nervous about using Calibre to make the epub though. Doesn't Calibre have the sizing stuff? Input and output? For a 6" reader? kind of stuff? Sigil just gets you the epub. Simple.)
