Hi,
I too have tried this for this website:
file:///home/adam/websites/thailand/www.roughguides.com/travel/asia/thailand.html
I downloaded the site using httrack (i use ubuntu 11.04). First of all i tried dragging and dropping into calibre and then when that didn't work i tried using ebbok convert (ebook-convert thailand.html thailand.epub). In both cases, after several hours of processing i finish up with a 1.4mb ebook, with the correct toc (i hadn't really expected that part to work) but each page is blank except for the text
Quote:

<style type=text/css>.tabber{display:none;}</style>
|
I have tried this with the full version of the website (identical to the link) and with a stripped down version with all the extraneous material removed.
Among the masses of output from ebook-convert we find:

I'm afraid i'm a complete novice with html, calibre, ebooks and pretty much everything else so it could be that i'm doing something incredibly stupid but for all my google searching i don't get any closer to success.
Thanks for any help
