Hmmm funny...I try to get rid of ePub when workin on eBooks. I have much more confidence in HTML (Even if it comes from Word)

Calibre can convert almost everything to everything. But it cant convert ePub to a single HTML file. There is a reason for that. You never know what you are going to find inside a ePub. Everybody always says that ePub is HTML in a container...well I never seen one were this was true.
There is a kludge were Calibre generates an zip file that contains something that is remotely related to HTML but most of the time it is a big bowl of spaghetti from dozens of html, xhtml, css and other junk with no apparent structure.

Try to find a ePub to HTML converter and you will find out that it is more easy to find a PDF to HTML converter

Not one ePub is build in the same way, they all look different on the inside and they even look different on different devices because nobody really knows how this 'standard' is implemented.
