Re: HTML → EPUB: Either "Out of memory" or "openBinaryFile: invalid argument (Invalid argument)"

Yes, pandoc can use stdin (see the manual), but only when
files aren't explicitly specified on the command line.  You
can't use stdin AND name input files, as in your batch file.

I have no idea why you wouldn't be getting shell expansion
of *.html; maybe someone who uses Windows could comment.
Are there perhaps special characters or spaces in your
.html file names?  Try

pandoc "*.html"
