Help converting Html "book" to ePub?

MelBr · 10-27-2014, 03:06 PM

Hi guys,

Through my library, I managed to save a book for offline reading as series of xhtml+jpg files. I'd like to convert it to ePub so I can read it on my phone/iPad. Since I've never done this, I have to idea what the best way to proceed is.

Does anyone have some time to help me or look at the files and suggest what to do?

Thank you!

Melanie

Create an index page linking the files, and import it into Sigil or calibre's editor.

Ah, OK! Sounds like a good plan! Thank you.

Another quickie… pages seem to have a ton of javascript in headers and footers.. should I just cut all that out?

Yes. ebooks will not use the javascript anyway.
