I started looking into this. I downloaded the Kiwix ebooks.stackexchange zim and unpacked it with zimdump. I noticed that the top-level page was empty except for a meta refresh pointing to a different URL. Hmmmm.

I took a zim I had generated myself, which was not like that, and... progress! It opened, and displayed the first page OK at least.

However, none of the internal links worked. The external links seemed to work right (with it offering to open them in a browser).

Perhaps there is a way of generating a ZIM that will yet work on this.

I also looked into ZIM to epub conversion. I found one on Github that was last updated 10 years ago and it crashed miserably, so I think that's out. I also looked at tools that might possibly be able to convert a whole tree of HTML/image files to ePub, but struck out there too.
