Chmreader,
At this time, the only real way to get a .chm file onto the Cybook is to use one of the freeware, shareware or commercial apps (I use ABC Amber CHM) to "explode" it into either Word .doc, .html 3.2 or .html 4.0w/CSS and then use those files to create your .prc file using either BookDesigner or Mobigen/Mobpocket Creator. BookDesigner works okay if there are no tables in the .chm ebook.
For me, I think the best way I've found is to create a ToC section which links each Part or Chapter to a follow-up page that has links to the individual sub-chapter sections. It's a pain to create, but once it's done it reads quite well.
I do it kind of like:
Contents
Part One: (part title)
Part Two: (part title)
Part Three: (part title) (These can all be chapter titles, instead.)
(Page Break)
Part One: (part title)
Chapter One: (chapter title) (Here again, if you used chapter titles already)
Chapter Two: (chapter title) ( you can now use sub-chapters here.)
...
(Page Break)
Part Two: (part title)
Chapter XX: (chapter title)
...
And on from there until the various link pages are created.
