The Tweak (T key) will allow you to explode a EPUB and see the pieces.
These can be opened with a programming language friendly, text editor like Notepad++ or Notepad (without the tag highlighting)

Sigil (I recommend getting the older 5.1 (5.2 and 5.3 are having crash problems). 5.1 has Add file issues and you must use the File New Menu, not the book browser.)
Besides the crashing issue with Sigil, I've noticed that it changes my text formatting, whereas some of the other programs do not. Thanks for the idea of looking at other ebooks. That should do it.

Open your HTML in a standard browser. If the images display properly then calibre should be able to import everything properly and convert to MOBI successfully, images and all. If the images fail to show in a browser then the HTML needs to be fixed before importing into calibre.
Thanks. But I realize it isn't magic. I'm a geezer writer and journalist, not a programmer.
