Question Html to LRF for Mac users?

I tried using Scotty's java-based converter, with decent results. But... What I'm really trying to do is to produce usable documents for issues of Jim Baen's Universe (interested readers should check out http://www.baensuniverse.com ).

They make the files available for download in a variety of formats, including .rtf and .html, but I haven't found a way to produce a truly readable version for the PRS500. The .rtf works fine, but you lose the pictures, and don't have any access to a ToC. And with ~1000-page files that include a dozen or more stories and columns, you really really need some built-in navigation.

So I moved on to trying to convert .html for the PRS500. One of the download options is an html file that includes all the text in one big file (with internal navigation), and that has the artwork in a sub-directory. Scotty's converter does a good job with the text, but loses the navigation links and the artwork.

Now what do I do?
