Thanks.
The zip file is just zipped up html. EPUB is basically zipped up html with the extension changed from zip to EPUB. I use UltraEdit, which is like Notepad, for most of my simple html edits, as I haven't bothered to install Sigil. Didn't Kovid post elsewhere that your problem is that this site has images in a table and MOBI has lousy table handling? If that's the case, you'll need to modify/remove the table before conversion.

Sigil, Dreamweaver, Notepad, UltraEdit, Microsuck Word or even using the recipe system with linearize_tables are all options. Whatever you're most familiar with is likely best for you.
