(Which means building your epub then converting to mobi - for which Amazon had another utility.)

If this is a commercial enterprise, and if you do want the book to be readable on e-ink readers, then I strongly suggest you invest in a cheaper Kobo (or similar) so you can see for yourself. e-readers are different and it's best to see it for yourself to really understand.

Alternatively, you can find one of the various services out there that can help you out - for a price.
Kindle Previewer 3 does a decent-enough job. Not as good as seeing the file on a bonafide small device--KP3 has the book emulators about 1.5x the actual size of a real Paperwhite, etc.--but it's a sh*t-ton better than using a browser.
