Best Original Format for Kindle

Hello all,

I work for a small publisher and we're just getting into the creation of Kindle eBooks from our existing print titles.

I've had decent results creating PRC files from PDFs using MobiPocket. However, there's always a few hours formatting work (adding and removing line breaks, random incidents where spaces are missing after commas etc. etc.) - we're looking at getting a conversion house to convert our archive of existing titles, but it's obviously not cheap.

So...what I am wondering is whether there's a better original format than PDF to work from which will require less manual editing?

We produce all of our books in Quark and then print them to PDF. Is there another format we can save to from Quark which will be better than PDF to work with in order to create our PRC files?

Thanks all :-)

Sam
