KindleGen and XHTML/CSS2
It's possible to generate a Kindle format book by pointing the KindleGen application at an expanded ePub.

But working out how the XHTML/CSS2 in the ePub is going to be handled by KindleGen is a lot trickier.

I'm doing some experiments in an attempt to find a way to generate a good looking ePub and Kindle from the same source files. This will require some limits on the use of ePub features, but for plain text books, this shouldn't really cause a problem.

I'll be documenting what I find in here, along with uploads of my test ePubs and Kindle books.

I welcome any comments on the test ebooks, or suggested work-arounds.
