If you plan on giving it away or selling it yourself, a good service is Word 2 Kindle. They charge $49 and will convert your word .doc into both a .mobi and .epub document. The .mobi extension is for the Kindle e-reader, and the .epub extension is for all the other e-book readers:

Another option is to use an Amazon service called KDP (Kindle Direct Printing). They will take a word doc, convert it to a Kindle E-book (.mobi), and also put it up for sale on Amazon.com.

It's a good service, but it was a pain in the ass to get through all their stupid paperwork:

Good luck!
