Qualified Perceptions

Kindle takes plain HTML, but that loses images, which I wanted to keep. It takes PDF, but no table of contents. So I printed to PDF, used Acrobat to concatenate all the PDFs together into a file, then used Mobipocket Creator (windows only, bah, but that's what virtual machines are for, and it's free) to import the PDF, tell it to create a table of contents based on the headings, tell it to set a "guide" to open to the table of contents file, set a cover, and send *that* to the kindle.

Converting a straight PDF is prettiest - you don't lose any formatting at all (I think it's all just rasterized), but the table of contents is kind of key for a concatenated file, and the Mobipocket book is cheaper than the PDF over whispernet ($2.15 versus 15 cents, the other reason I think it's rasterized).
