Ah, right. Yes, it doesn't handle sets of HTML documents very well. You could try using Calibre to convert them to an epub.

How to clean up the existing libarary database?
Clean up how? The library view should only show those books currently in the library path, though I think it retains details in the database. If you want to clear those out, the easiest option is to delete the library database files (~/.FBReader/books.*) and let it recreate them - that'll lose any customisation you've done to the library though. Otherwise you can use sqlite3 to edit the database directly.
