As Dave Royal noted to Carlos, all paths are relative to $DOCUMENT_ROOT.

Also, as Dave noted, EPUB is essentially a packaged, standardized container
built decades later on top of XHTML and CSS, long after HTML documentation
was already widespread in CD ROM supplied documentation and help systems.

Looking up Carlos' Calibre question, apparently Calibre can convert a
complex multi-file HTML book into a single EPUB/AZW3 file, as long as we
give it the entire directory (usually as a ZIP) if it is formatted well.
 1. Feed the ZIP to Calibre, 
 2. Convert to EPUB, 
 3. Output a single, portable book with all images and subfiles embedded.

Once Calibre converts the zip to an epub, it can be copied to Android.
