Kindle Previewer is the official tool to use.
I start my workflow in InDesign. I've already done the print layout there, so it makes sense to stay there. (Since I've already got the print styles nailed down, it's pretty easy to get those switched over to ebook styles -- I just recycle INDD file that I've previously optimized for EPUB export, copy and paste the content, and sub in the ebook styles. I think I'm pretty on top of styles, but I'll check out your link...I'm sure there's always more to learn!) Next I export to EPUB, view in Kindle Previewer, and thence export to...well, so far to MOBI, which I then check in Kindle for PC. Then I lather, rinse, repeat till I get the kinks worked out.

Y'all lost me at dual MOBI/dual-format MOBI. Those aren't terms I've heard before.
