Should be easy. EPUB is HTML.
Sounding better all the time. How does the file size compare with PDFs? And almost all of our pix are thumbnailed. Is that going to be an issue?
Sorry for all the dumb questions.
Idk. PDF file sizes can vary greatly depending on how you save them. I'm not sure about ePub.
Are you planning on converting web pages into ePub documents? If so, you might have some problems with image paths and the like.

I could go back through them and eliminate the thumbnails?
And, BTW, Textpad has been very helpful despite being unsupported for about three years now. Good info.

I want a "single file" option to the HTML files. People have been asking me for this for some time now. With the proliferation of readers I figure it needs to be done.

ePub is supported by everything bar the Amazon Kindle at present. That's Amazon's problem, nothing to do with ePub, which is an open format.

I've never done ePub conversion (to or from), but given what makes up the ePub format, I daresay there are ways and means. Ani's point about the layout is important though. Preserving layout is usually the stumbling block going from format A to format B.

It's a project. I'm going to start saving files without thumbnails in anticipation.
Anyway, we can start the registration process. I need to get a simple yet clear email written to send out.

This looks like the ticket:
http://calibre-ebook.com/ (open source, Windows and other versions available)
And yes, it does support HTML to ePUB:

Yup.
Open source almost always means free.

Calibre is excellent.
