Use calibre and the ePubSplit plugin, and don't post copyrighted material.

Are there instructions anywhere for using it? It's not obvious and I don't see a "help" button.

If you don't want to us Calibre-epubsplit PI
Use any version of Sigil to adjust files so 'a book' does not share a common section file (use Sigil Split). Make 5 copies of the original EPUB file (rename each copy to reflect the end results books name) Use Sigil to delete all but the desired 'book' from each of the saved EPUB copies. Adjust the TOC as needed BTW use the latest Sigil if you don't have a compelling system reason . It really has improved since 5.3 Last edited by theducks; 08-28-2013 at 10:41 AM. Reason: Clarity |

You'll find epubsplit group on MobileRead here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=178799 Regarding the splitting function in Sigil, it only splits the internal files in the epub - it does not split an omnibus into separate epub files, which I think is what you're after. Regards, Kim |

Well, all I remember at this point is something in one of the upgrades close to 0.5.3 had something I didn't want, didn't understand, *or* it sounded like it was getting more complicated than I wanted.
I don't remember - I mostly use it to do simple things (remove extra covers and book ads) and occasionally a little more complicated when I'm feeling ambitious (splitting a book so there are separate HTML files for each chapter, rather than one long run-on file (possible split because of its length). I just use it to pretty-up the books I don't like the layout or format of, mostly. It does what I need. Quote:
I read the top post on the sticky thread about the plug in - it seemed like a list of things it could do, without any instructions on how to do them. And I didn't have time to read through all the posts that had been made since it was rolled out. So I just experimented until I could actually get it to do something. I can't help but think - for example - the middle column serves a purpose. I tried clicking in that column, right clicking for a context menu, clicking in a row and typing or tabbing....nothing, nothing, nothing. I appreciate that folks make these. I do. I know with stuff like this it's an "as-is" deal. I'm just used to them being more obvious than this one.... ....of course there's always the possibility there's a "click here to allow editing" button or F key that I simply missed, that would make it all obvious, and I'll feel like an idiot when I finally find it. |
