Anyone got a preferred program or package for this? I'd like a *good* one,
and Word or OO.o's save as html in no way qualifies as other than amateur
crap.
So far, with a little googling, I've found the wv package. wvHtml works,
but I don't like the output - it insists on <div>, and on &rhquo
instead
of plain, simple ".

You wanted HTML, and *any* browser will understand that HTML entity, even Lynx. If you wanted "HTML I can read like an e-book", I'd say you should be converting to Markdown instead. One path from Word to Markdown would be unrtf (https://www.gnu.org/software/unrtf/) to HTML, then HTML to Markdown via Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/).
