It's not fully compatible with Firefox 3, and must be fiddled to install, but it works once you have. (The part that doesn't work is the bit that tells you the progress and when the mirroring is completed. You have to keep an eye on that manually.)

When I used HTTrack to get the entire NAB website, I just used the default settings. It was a "well behaved" website and allowed the completion without incident. I actually "grabbed" the website April 2006, but didn't finish the ebook until April 2007 (
no it wasn't a full-time effort 
)
The hard part was then editing the 1400+ .html files "retrieved" and then combining them properly into the ebook. I added the "back-reference" from any footnote using a regex-aware text editor (TextPad) so that the reader could go off to a footnote and then return back to the passage they were reading.
Aside: The .imp file I produced for the eBookwise 1150 would not work as it was too large for its limited memory. I even contacted the manufacturer ETI to see if they had any insights why this ebook could not be made to work. Alas, I had max'ed out the EBW1150! My original idea was to have the ebook available with the eBookwise 1150 (low-cost LCD reader) along the lines of the Hiebook/Godspeed combination. It does work well with the my REB1200, though those units are scarce and would not be a low-cost way to get the "word out to the masses". See some sample ebook pages from my REB1200 version below:
