I have used Plucker in the past, and I think if you were to zip up a directory structure of a site that didn't go too many levels deep, like something akin to a TOC with target pages, you could probably successfully run the whole thing through Calibre and wind up with a workable eBook as a result. My initial attempts were (possibly) too ambitious and Calibre kicked out errors and didn't complete the conversion. It's certainly worthy of further experimentation.

This approach is "superior" for single level, "page-only" conversions because it's so easy. You can literally save the compressed FB2 files right to your Pocket Pro and head out the door in seconds. Plucker would be overkill for something like that, and it would still require secondary conversion if you wanted to bring images along. (At least, my limited experience with HTML on the Pocket Pro suggests that it can't handle a multi-file web page; I could be wrong about this.)
