Hi Derek, it's interesting looking, and could be a viable option if someone doesn't have InDesign and they're writing from scratch.

With InDesign, you'd create an EPUB and then convert the EPUB to MOBI with the free KindlePreviewer app or with Calibre, or even just uploading the EPUB to the Kindle Publishing portal yourself, where they do the conversion,

There are just a couple tweaks you might need to do to the EPUB, and you need to keep in mind that the Kindle does not support all the CSS that EPUB readers like iBooks and the Nook do (for example, “floats” … drop caps and other wraps).

You could also write your book in Word, save it as HTML from there, do some clean up, then have Calibre convert it to a MOBI.
