The just released version 0.8.0 of FBReader also runs under Windows XP, so you can try it out if you have a XP (or Linux) Desktop. I assume the iLiad port is of version 7, and I would not reccomend upgrading to version 8 yet (because it is brand new).
FBReader does handle multi-file HTML documents, but all the files have to be local (typically in one directory, or one zip file). I almost always convert HTML to Plucker, which means I get one file and essentially a simplified HTML layout (still with links). The notes on version 8 says it will now invoke an external browser for non-local links. Note that it does not handle tables in any file format.
For screenshots of FBReader on a PepperPad, see the
MobiPocket Java Reader on Pepper Pad 3 thread. These include shots from a set of HTML's in a zip file. As the title suggests, I was originally posting about the Mobipocket reader - but I ended up saying more about FBReader. I certainly did not think then that FBReader would be available on the iLiad before Mobipocket.
