Jakob Nielsen offers an in-depth look at Kindle formatting best practices:

For Kindle, it's certainly unacceptable to simply repurpose print content. But you can't repurpose website content, either. For good Kindle usability, you have to design for the Kindle. Write Kindle-specific headlines and create Kindle-specific article structures. [Link included in original post.]

jakob might not know how to use a master-format that
gives you a good kindle-book and a good web-book and
a good print-book, but _i_ know how to do it, and i have
just shown -- right here, in another thread -- how to do it.
