Conversion no epub and then using Sigil to edit and then converting to mobi worked like ganbusters. Thanks for the suggestion! This book was so rife with graphics that I thought I'd never be able to convert it. BTW, the reason the html insisted on being out of order was that the original html scripts insisted on doing it that way for some reason. It worked fine on the web because the order didn't really matter. The only way you could navigate was by clicking "next page" or using the links in the Table of Contents. It was a chore getting them reordered, but it worked very well once I put in the time.
Having a different problem with another book that was web-based though. It was set up as a series of pdfs that were accessed using an html script, and again navigation was only by clicking on the next or previous page or by using the TOC. However I converted all of the pdf pages into html (one file for every page) and then using a TOC I created was able to process the book into epub. It's readable using the ebook reader in calibre, but when I go to edit it in Sigil all the text is on *one line* (on each page). I tried adding manual <br /> at the end of each line but even that didn't help. So somehow the carriage return isn't being paired with a line feed. It's odd because if I click on the html links that I created they display fine in a web browser. So it looks to be valid html.
