I have not found an epub viewer I really love anywhere. EBookDroid on my phone was moderately good until they changed the fonts to infinitesimal, though it was always weird that it insists on displaying italics as yellow highlighter. I do wish Calibre would let me convert my other epub books to singlepage HTML in an easy click, rather than having to explode each book and manually compile the HTML. Mind, being able to explode the book at all is awesome.

For reading on the computer, I tend to prefer HTML too. But on my Android phone, I have used Aldiko for years and I'm mostly happy with it. I even bough the Pro version back when it was a perpetual license. Although I can't really recommend it anymore due to the change in monetization policy: the new owners now only sell "subscriptions" for the Pro features. That's why I'm unwilling to upgrade to the new version, too, since I would lose those Pro features I paid for... but back when I was evaluating epub readers, I noticed a couple that were almost as good as Aldiko. Anybody knows what happened to Mantano Reader, for instance? One of these days I'll have to do a new evaluation, before my old, unmaintained version of Aldiko Pro becomes untenable....
Anyway, for converting epub into HTML... have you tried converting to HTMLZ first, and then just unzipping it? HTMLZ is pretty much what you want, only packed in a zip file with a changed extension.
