It's a Windows progam, and I haven't had time to test it fully but because it's free only for the next 15 hours, I thought it best to rush into print. My first impression is that the html is more than a bit overweight, but that's exactly what one would expect from a program that tries to preserve the formatting of the pdf. You'll probably want to strip out all the <span> and <font> tags for a start. (In my first test, that reduced the file size by two-thirds.) The <div> tags are a bit trickier: some of them need to be replaced by <p>s, most just represent line breaks and others are something else again.
Obviously, the way I envisage using this is to download pdfs onto my Windows computer, convert to html, then put them on the N800 for reading on the go. Frankly, I'm not (yet) sure it's worth the trouble, but it's free and available for a limited time, so make up your own mind about that.
It seems potentially more useful than most of the things I've seen on Giveaway of the Day. Maybe it's their idea of an Easter egg.
