I'm going to assume that you have access to calibre, calibre's ModifyEpub plugin, Sigil and Sigil's EpubCheck plugin.
- Import the epub into calibre
- Run the ModifyEpub plugin with the Encode HTML in UTF-8 option checked.
- Open the epub with Sigil. Say no to the Automatically Fix errors
- Run Mend or Mend and Prettify from the Tools menu
- Run EpubCheck. If any errors, fix them
- Save the epub and then send it to Amazon
See attached images.
Edit: This is the process I've used and so far my limited testing hasn't had failure or odd looking output.
