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:
