Local hosting on e-readers

This is my first attempt - so please laugh politely.

I have a very large free web site of text material - 10s of 1000s of books, booklets and articles many 10s of 1,000,000s of words all in html and xhtml. This collection could be zipped up to several 100MBs - so is OK for e-reader storage capacity.

I would like this to be available on e-readers (and phones, tablets etc.).
At the moment it is available as a web site to any device with web access.
I am aware of a large purist e-book group who do not want web access, however what I have offered since 1995 is books on digital devices - I don't care what the devices are - but I think e-ink is very exciting!
I believe that there is a large number of people with poor internet access who would like to use this collection in daylight with long battery life.
Could some one point me to places where I could get advice about local hosting on any e-reader device? . . . .
because I see bulk re-formatting as a terrible task when there is an archive of the size of mine.
With my site there is a built-in navigation structure (and searching function - Google)
What (reasonably pain-free) ways are there to build such structure if local-hosting is not possible?
I have been waiting for this feature to arrive - should I just keep waiting?
Thank you in anticipation - one for you readers - chrestomathy
