Vellum takes a docx input file (Word, LO Writer, Scrivener, Pages, etc.) and converts it to an ePub file (I think mobi is an alternate output but don't actually know anyone who has used it). The major issues some people seem to have with it is that it has two stylesheets, one of which is dedicated to media queries and that it loves using masses of <div>s. OTOH, it is pretty consistent and so easy to clean up. I have a collection of saved searches which automate pretty much the whole procedure.
The ePub output can be aimed at Kindle for upload to Amazon or ePub for everywhere else. The main difference being that the Amazon specific media queries are not present in the ePub for elsewhere.
