How to add additional files to the eBooks?

Hi,

I just started using Calibre, and I really like it. Looks like it does everything that I need to organize my eBook collection.

My question is, how do I add the accompanying data (CD/DVD) to a book?
There are not many books that I have and are with a companion CD, but for a few of them that they are, I'd like to add the CD to the catalogue, and bind it with the book.

I see there is 'Add files to selected book records (Shift+A)', but I am not sure if I should use that for this purpose. If I add it as an archive (zip/rar) then I see it on the right side appearing as another format, so I have "Formats: PDF, RAR".

Thank you, and keep up the great work.

The only option you have is to add it as if it were another format to achieve what I think you are asking for.
