I agree that LaTeX is the way to go if you have the time to put into writing the conversion scripts then tweaking the typesetting of each edition. If not, you might find that html2ps+ps2pdf gives better results than htmldoc. You provide html2ps a stlysheet -- it understands most of CSS2 -- so you can control the formatting more precisely, plus it can do justified paragraphs w/ hyphenation.
I did a quick-and-dirty run on the HTML in the main RSS feed so you can see if it maybe looks better, keeping in mind that many details of the look can be easily improved by modifying the applied stylesheet.
