Writing an html-ePub converter?
Have any of y'all written an html-ePub converter? My company is considering making our product more mobile-reading-friendly, and I am trying to ascertain the scope of the project.

So, if you have scripted converters:
(1) What are the most difficult parts?
(2) How long did it take you?
(3) Is it necessary to include a tweaking tool, or is it reasonable to expect the final output will be sufficient?
(4) For dynamic content, has anyone considered linking to RSS feeds? What are your thoughts on how you would prefer to have dynamic content introduced to an ePub context?
(5) Has anyone used text fields in ePub (forms)? Is it even allowed?
