So the use of html depends on the ereader.
HTML is a mark-up language and the same code will appear differently on different machines. While pdf tries to look the same on all machines. (Crappy IMHO)
I have a BeBook (Onyx) it reads both epub and html. One problem I have seen with epub is the unzipping time can be significant for large documents, i.e. the King James bible. So I store a couple versions of the bible in html format. It is easier and quicker to start up.
Images are no problem. I have a Gutenberg KJV with Dore's illustrations in html. You just have multiple directories, just like the epub's underlay.
But I guess the same thing could be accomplished with multiple books of the bible in epub format.
On the BeBook html does have a disadvantage. It uses the wifi web browser to view html and there is no dictionary support for the web browsing.
A coin toss???
