Libprs500 comes with html2lrf which is used to convert from HTML to LRF. But it's not a click and go solution at the moment. It's run from the command line of a Command prompt in Windows. So if you are looking at libprs500 to do a "simple click and go" solution, this is not it. It's like any solution to convert to LRF. You have to do some work to get it to look the way you want.

There is Book Designer that has a GUI and can load in HTML which might be as close to a "click and go" solution as we have at the moment.

Both programs have their good and bad points. I found html2lrf to be easier to use to conver an HTML file from Project Gutenberg that contained lots of images then using Book Designer. But when the book is a straight forward convert, I use Book Designer. It just depends on what the source is as to which tool is best for the job.
