In many ways it's the same issue as with PDF->HTML. LaTeX is designed to produce print matter (dvi, pdf) as such there are many things in TeX that can not be expressed easily or at all in HTML and vice versa.

If you want it on the eReader, making a PDF with eReader formats in the font size you like might indeed be the best option. However not even that always works, it depends on how the TeX document is made and how well it copes with "small" paper geometry...

Out of the genuine tex->html converters I've had best results with plastex. It requires some fiddling and the html some manual fixing. But at least it's something. Commenting unnecessary stuff out of the TeX first (such as header / footer / pagenumbers / etc) might help also.
