Personally I've found that if I set the media size correctly, select my favorite font (Tiresias) and use Pages on my Mac I get excellent results. Pages break in predictable or forced places of my choosing (chapters begin on new pages) and the flip rate isn't any slower than the HTML. Plus I don't have all the headaches with a PDF that I have with HTML to put all the iLiad stuff into the HTML and produce a manifest.xml.

I appreciate the Librie's ability to re-size fonts on the fly but you know? The pages breaks get all silly on you when you use that feature. Some times there is no substitute for using a proper tool to reflow the document when you change something manifest like the primary font size.

And a web browser is not an ebook reader. But with a few whacks upside its code base minimo might become more like MS Reader...
