I tried converting two of the HTML books using cloudconvert.com (which internally uses pandoc) and in less than 5 seconds I have got a nice PDF e-book of http://freetamilebooks.com/htmlbooks/oru-vasagam/oru-vasagam.html (and) http://freetamilebooks.com/htmlbooks/black-june-html/black-june.html All bold characters, Table of contents, Fonts, HTML links were nicely formatted and worked properly.
