Sadly no one really publishes books as HTML.

Epub is HTML and CSS bundled in a zip file following a specific directory tree layout and containing a few metadata files.
Epub 3 is HTML5.
Open LibreOffice, create a doc, save it as Epub, and unzip the file. See for yourself.
That's cool, thanks!
Aren't the most popular ebook formats based on HTML?
