I played around with creating ePub's a few years ago, since I have the HTML already, but found the whole format/standard completely lacking for the purpose of publishing books and thus didn't invest too much time in it.

Doing odt -> HTML -> ePub -> mobi is not why we have computers, IMO. I'd prefer skipping the unnecessary ePub step. Seems I can't, so the mobi's will have to wait until I write a simple HTML to ePub program to feed KindleGen. Just need to figure out what information mobi can handle.
You alreadly have html so use calibre--you are using XP so get this version of calibre.
For help with importing your html into calibre.
Once you have your html in calibre you can convert to mobi or epub then to mobi.

I recommend that you practice before trying this with your files, a good way is to go to the Baen Free Library and download some of the free ebooks in html format. Unzip them into a folder.
Delete the file named using only numbers such as 9781625795397.htm.
Then drag and drop the XXXX.toc file into calibre, then convert.
