Go with www.smashwords.com/
This website has a web app for converting word documents. But it's a very stringent one; Converts only those documents that adher to the guide lines provided in it's free E-book --> www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
Although it looks like a big book, many of the pages were filled with big pictures. So, it won't take more than 2-3 days to complete it. Also, it gives a clear perspective of how not to write an E-book with word, which you can use for your future books. Also, once your book passes the test, your book could be made available through their store which serves E-book apps such as Apple's ibookstore, Aldico etc.,

Also, many authors, who have published the kindle version of their books at Amazon, refer to it as a definitive guide.

Hope this helps. Happy writing
