So then tried just viewing the page source of the web page I wanted to convert, saved it as a file, added it as a book to my Calibre library, and did a mobi convert. It worked almost perfectly, preserved all the formatting, but the fatal flaw was it just had boxes with '?' icons where the images should be - it was not pulling the embedded images, e.g. '<img src="redliq.gif" width="251" height="110" /></p><pre>', where if you click on the gif link in the source it brings up the image, but it's not making it into the eBook.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be most welcome.
Same suggestion as before. Tools like wget can extract a web site, following links you define and returning html. Alternatively, you can try using the recipe system. You may need to turn on recursion. It's hard to make any suggestions to deal with your issues, since you haven't provided any links or copies of sites that you're having problems with.
