Thanks!

There's already a properly formatted .html version of that text available from www.gutenberg.org. It's http://www.gutenberg.org/files/11/11-h.zip and just needs to be unzipped, have the Gutenberg preamble and legalese stripped and converted to ebook form. Hey, guess what, ALL that can be done for you using my freeware GuteBook (see my sig for the link).

Aside: Basically, you install the GuteBook program, enter "11", click your desired ebook output and Click "Convert". It requires that calibre and some (optional) other supporting programs be installed once, then it can convert almost any Guteberg.org offering, though some ebooks come out better than others due to coding styles that are better suited to ebook conversion.
