I wrote that article, thanks for leaving a comment. I'll answer it here if that's OK.
I've had mixed success using FBreader under OI, but I can (usually) open plucker files generated by Sunrise Desktop. I use OI from time to time but generally it isn't stable enough for use 100% of the time yet.
To read Plucker on the V3 I use Lunohod's last modified lBook firmware with FBReader in that, and I find that works extremely well. There may be a later version of the same elsewhere I think.
To comment about workflow, I use Plucker because it works across all my devices with various readers, but there are alternatives that might work better on the Hanlin V3 if other platforms aren't relevant.
Bookit is a Firefox extension that uses Calibre to produce books for the Sony readers. It is also capable of generating epub documents from HTML pages sent via the Bookit extension. I've had no success at all getting an epub document out of Calibre at this stage though - I need to spend some more time on this. But that route looks like a pretty good way of integrating document generation into web browsing.
Another alternative is to package up straight HTML into a zip file I guess. Maybe the Scrapbook extension in Firefox is relevant here.
I'd be interested to hear how other people handle ebook workflow - what tools they use and how they use them.
