I played around with creating ePub's a few years ago, since I have the HTML already, but found the whole format/standard completely lacking for the purpose of publishing books and thus didn't invest too much time in it.

Doing odt -> HTML -> ePub -> mobi is not why we have computers, IMO. I'd prefer skipping the unnecessary ePub step. Seems I can't, so the mobi's will have to wait until I write a simple HTML to ePub program to feed KindleGen. Just need to figure out what information mobi can handle.
Take a look at this on line converter. It might be able to convert direct to Mobi. I have used it to do RTF to Mobi and Epub. It seems to be pretty versatile. If publishing in ebook formats you need to offer Mobi and Epub to cover almost all current ebook readers.
