Sadly no one really publishes books as HTML.

  Aren't the most popular ebook formats based on HTML?

  They do, they just don't end up being called books. I'm a big fan of http://learnyouahaskell.com/ http://learnyouahaskell.com/

  Not sure if this is sarcastic but FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats (spoiler, most of them are HTML/CSS)

    Most books I saw were epub and pdf. They say epub is some XML, ok. But I don't see how the number of existing HTML based formats is relevant

      > They say epub is some XML, ok. 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.

  Lots of books (in major digital bookstores like ibooks) are published as "epub" which is basically html.
