(I tried again yesterday, sent the same book as Mobi and Epub : on arrival Mobi was perfect, ex-EPub as converted by Amazon had issues starting on page 1 - like weird characters instead of a plain apostrophe for instance.)
Those "wierd" characters are an encoding problem. Use the Modify ePub plugin to make sure the ePub is in UTF-8. Then that problem should not happen.
