Can we make our e-book with InDesign?

Ok, I decided to make a screencast video to show what I did with InDesign and how I think it will work with our project.  Unfortunately, Jing's free screencasts are in the swf format and I couldn't post it to the blog or know how to convert it.  So, to see the video, follow this link.  It is kind of big, but everything I did was in the middle of the screen.

I then used calibre to convert the ePub format into mobi and I think the results looked pretty good

Here are some pictures of what these books looked like on the kindle:

And the one I made with our googledoc and a random picture
