It funny. I think I have used Calibre before to edit a book last year, but I see no way to in the app now. I thought at one time I was able to add a cover to an ebook in Calibre, but see no way now. |

Got a situation where individual HTML docs end, but the ebook does not join them without appx half a page space. Have I deleted the correct end code for the docs so they will run in w next doc? Or what is the correct code to run in HTML docs?
Also, to continue my stupid beginner queries, why are there several HTML text docs and not just one in an ebook? |

You will have to see what is at the end of each of them and the beginning. There is no inherent reason for a half page space.
You might download a book from the MR library and see how they begin and end. The books tend to have the long book broken up with files in chapters. Since the reader will try to reformat at any change, reformatting the whole file when you only really need to reformat the chapter you are reading tales time. Reformatting only a small file takes less time, so the books are broken up by chapters, typically. Also older readers may not open up any epub with any file much bigger than 250k. |

The 250k makes sense, thanks.
I'll look at a book from MR for the start and end code, thanks. |

each new file will begin on a new e-reader screen.
if you don't like that you can merge xhtml files |

What is it with Calibre? I'm hitting T and no code view. Their is a tiny INSPECTOR window, but not the Code View I have seen. In Calibre, I've hit Command+T, Command+T+TAB, TAB, I stood on my head and hit T. No code view.
What do ebook designer's use to create and to open ebooks. Calibre is so WANKY. And then Sigil is going away I see. What the heck is there to do this professionally? |

Latest downloads are here ==>> http://calibre-ebook.com/download The editor is still being developed, its quite stable but its being enhanced continuously. Quote:
Calibre is primarily an ebook library manager that 'talks' to many of the book readers out there, of which there are dozens (hundreds maybe) and they all have propriety wrinkles and there are new models being released all the time with new features and foibles. One of the main reasons Calibre now has an editor is because Sigil Development has been put on the back-burner. Oh, You can use the calibre editor standalone - you'll find it at ebook-edit.exe in the install directory. You can also use it from within the library - via the 'T' kb short BR Last edited by BetterRed; 04-17-2014 at 12:09 AM. |
