Don't worry about the format and layout guys, I was really only looking to see if thee was any way that I missed to send KCC format by Kindle email. Appreciate the concern though.

I'm with Quoth on the whle PDF thing as "fixed format" is just asking for things to bite you in the butt, and loads of extra work.
The pages are about 30% text in largeish print, the illustrtions are largely scratchy-type line drawings in mono with some colour splashes here and there, so compress fairly well and look just fine in KCC.
Anything other than a virbatim page replication (ie snapshot JPG from the PDF as KCC does) would mess up the layout and cause endless to and fro with the customer... who only wanted to pay the cost of a "standard project".
I think I managed to achieve a balance between what the client wanted and whatr they could have technically and for the money.
I see the book's up on Amazon now and selling, so job done.
They've not come back with any comments after the advice on how to send review copies, so hoping no news is good news.

Cheers M'Dudes!
