For my own books, I use HTML as my base, and transform it to Mobi to read.
Well the point is that a base can easily be ePUB since you can simply unzip it to retrieve the internal files. The probleml with HTML is it is often not self contained. No images, CSS in a separate file etc. It needs to be zipped to contain it. As a matter of fact some readers such as Hanlin can actually read an eBook inside a zip file, depending on the format inside the zip file.
