@charlie - If you e-mail me copy of your purchase receipt I will send you the non-DRMed book in either Mobi or ePub (joshua@kindleformatting.com). It is available in non-DRM from the Amazon Kindle store, but there is no way to sell it that way on the eBookBase.
The encoding you want to use is UTF-8. Here is the meta tag:

The sample book, The Four Million, on my website has a default stylesheet that usually works pretty well. The Kindle's own default formatting keeps most books looking fine without one, but I like setting up some of my own defaults like centered headings.
I have seriously considered writing a book about ePub conversions and formatting, and would be convinced about pursuing the project if enough people were interested in it.
@MejDam - I get 35%, so about $3.50 from each sale. Before Amazon recently stopped offering automatic discounts I was getting twice that much based on my list price of $19.95.
