I wrote novel in LaTeX and thus I have full (?) control on PDF generation.
I tried to find a way to directly generate [x]html, but I failed because of fonts I'm using.

For LaTeX -> HTML, there are a handful of different tools/workflows.
Depending on how complicated the code of your book is, some of these may work better than others:
- tex4ebook
- LaTeXML
- htlatex
- pandoc
As you mentioned, pandoc is okay for trivial LaTeX->HTML conversions, but more complicated text (especially macro-heavy) will break.
There's lots of information on the TeX Stack Exchange. Here's some of the latest discussions:
Use LaTeX to produce Epub
LaTeX document to epub or mobi ebook formats (with mathematical formulas)
There's also a few older discussions:
Use LaTeX to produce Epub
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...51#post3800751
where these tools are mentioned:
- plastex
- tex2ebook.py
- tex4ht
Perhaps you'll have better luck with some of those other tools.
Although note, some of these tools haven't been updated in quite a long while.

What document class are you using (book, memoir, koma-script, [...])?
Is your source document UTF-8?
What are you using to compile (pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, [...])?
