Just playing around with Amazon's Kindle Previewer -- which is a desktop program which does a better job of emulating the limitations of the various Kindle devices -- and I notice that you can ask it to display an EPUB file, in which case it compiles that file into MOBI format for display -- and tells you where it cached the MOBI file. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000234621 Now if we book developers only had a reliable way to compile HTML to EPUB -- so that we can preview what our HTML will look like on EPUB and MOBI devices. I know Calibre can do this, but it doesn't JUST do it -- Calibre also munches on the translation.
