Followup with Resolutions
I successfully (well sort-of) loaded these ebooks onto my Kindle by downloading the original documentation source code & going from there.
For the PostgreSQL documentation, I built the documentation as a single HTML file & successfully converted this. Since building the docs involved installing lots of tools, I just created a new FreeBSD virtual machine for the purpose, built my HTML file & called it a day. Looks nice on the Kindle.
For Python standard library, it was a bit more difficult. The version of Sphinx used for the 2.x documentation is old & doesn't support the singlehtml nor epub output formats. However the 3.x docs use Sphinx 1.07, so I punted on 2.7 docs, & just did a "make epub" in the 3.2 doc subdirectory. I loaded the resulting into calibre with no problem.
All in all, not so bad. The new Sphinx output formats (as of v1.0 I believe) make conversion a piece of cake. Hopefully this is the direction the world is moving.
