It's a bit large to try to make a epub out of it and I have no idea how to convert it to work like it should for reading.
KindleUnpack strives hard to stick to an "Only What's In There" approach. If you're getting a single 89Mb html file out of KindleUnpack, then almost assuredly, an 89Mb html file was given to Kindlegen/mobigen/mobipocket-creator to create that Kindlebook in the first place.

"Shrinking" such a file is not what you want to do. If you want to create an ePub out of it (and KindleUnpack should have created an epub already--regardless of how large the html file is), your best bet will be using calibre's book-edit, or Sigil to split the html file into smaller, logical sections or "chapters."

Hope something there helps.
