This is a tricky one as HTML implementation tends to be pretty basic, often are tables not supported. HTML files saved off the Internet often have somewhat messy markup and that doesn't make the problem smaller.
I've tried html on Cybook, iLiad, Hanlin V3. The Cybook didn't work at all except for *very* basic HTML, and the Hanlin wasn't better.
On the iLiad you can install third-party applications and there exist a few web browsers, which should be able to do what you need. I never got around to try them myself, as my HTML files was stories saved off the web, and it was easiest and gave the best reading experience to create custom-sized PDFs.
For my Sony, I can convert HTML files in Calibre and export them to the Reader. Depending on the quality of the original file, this sometimes work well and other times not at all. I now usually copy the text and save it as a RTF file that I convert for the Sony reader.
Another - cheaper - option is to get a (used) PDA. They have browsers that can do the same thing as 'normal' browsers. Perhaps an iPod Touch or iPhone would also be an option, though it might be a problem getting the files onto the device.
