Actually, on top of my head I can think of three readers that support HTML; Hanlin (+ clones), CyBook and Irex iLiad - and I'm sure there's more - but, and this is a big one, they only support pretty basic HTML. That would, however, not be a big problem if you could convert easily into clean HTML. And that is not my own experience. I've looking far and wide for a tool for this - Mac or Windows, it's okay - but I have yet to find something that does not require clean up with the connected risk of messing up. So far, I've found Mobipocket Creator to be the best, but the resulting HTML still requires removal of a unecessary markup, just as what you suggest. Not the best solution.

I understand the problems with zipping files - if we could get around that and still keep the HTML files, I think it would be best.
