Actually, I wanted the same thing--so I made a program to do it.

I just released it today:
Quote:
I've made a standalone, command-line interface python program that can
merge multiple epub books together into one, combining the authors and
table of contents. My motivation was to be able to combine a series
of stories together into one epub.

Roman Kirillov has graciously allowed me to put it in the
fanficdownloader source repository. You can find epubmerge.py in the
fanficdownloader directory of the fanficdownloader hg repository, or
get it directly from:

http://fanficdownloader.googlecode.c...r/epubmerge.py

You'll need python installed to use it, and you'll need to call it
from command line. An example invocation would be:

python epubmerge.py -o SeriesName.epub -t "Series Name" story1.epub
story2.epub

I've tested it with epubs from my most common sources (Calibre, Sigil,
Baen Publishing, fanficauthors.net, tthfanfic.org). Let me know if
you have problems with other sources.

This only works with non-DRM epub files (Nook and other readers).
mobi files (as used by Kindle) are a lot more complicated. I don't
have any plans to work with mobi.
