Otherwise, do what I do and convert to MOBI and then back to EPUB. Amazon does a garbage job of converting from EPUB format, so doing the EPUB->MOBI->EPUB removes all the fancy formatting that they can't handle. It's annoying but it works, as you've seen.
Just no. Do not convert to Mobi. Use the Modify ePub plugin to set the ePub to UTF-8.
