I belive Nick wrote a script that used ETools to create a HTML file from PDB. It's called Ereader2HTML.pl, whe also created an executable for it. You can reverse his script to create eReader from HTML.
The reader in the ETools package only reads eReader files. It cannot create them, even if reversed. The issue is that there are a number of records that have only recently been understood (after that perl library as last updated) and a number of those records require calculations based on the input itself. Also, a reader on a computer only needs to know about a few of the records. On a mobile device the rest of the records are used due, mainly, to the memory limitations. While you can produce a reader using the minimal number of records, producing a file using only those records will not open in the desktop software or a mobile device.
