But I expect they'll fix that eventually.
I highly recommend using Kindlegen. And if you're on a Mac, I have a nice AppleScript to turn it into a drag&drop operation. And I've just finished another python script and AppleScript that will strip out the bloated source files from the generated book.

Unfortunately it seem that the appending of the source files is not an oversight or a mistake, as they even issued an update to remove the (undocumented) switch that turned off that 'feature'.

See this thread and this thread.
