How can I do that with Calibre ? or is it impossible ? I tried to do it with Sigil, but could not import other epub files ?

Should I start from html files ?

Thank you for any help, and thank you to Kovid Goyal and Valloric for their splendid job on Calibre and Sigil, which are my favorite tools now...

Starson has the basics down solid.

Combining 2 documents wold probably be make a HASH out of the styles used.
Both original documents would need to 1) use the exact same Style sheet (or subset) or Mutually exclusive tags .
The rest, as Starson put it, is an editing Exercise
Edit the Master Stylesheet or correct an add one.
According to the best practices, I am reading. Lean, Mean Stylesheets are the goal for fast rendering.
