Hi,

I am a new (about 6 months now) Calibre user who just received several books in html format. I'm having a problem adding them to my library.

I click add books and point calibre to the folder which contains 2 files: book.html and a .jpg image of the book cover. Then I click ``Open``

When I try to read the added book, I notice that the format is listed as ZIP, and when I open the book, instead of Calibre opening the reader and showing me the book, it opens Peazip (my zip archiver) which shows a zip archive containing a bunch of stuff the original html folder never had, like a opf file, a metadata folder and some other stuff. If I then open book.html, it opens in my browser. If I wanted to use my browser as my reader, I would still be using 5 different readers instead of just Calibre.

How can I get Calibre to just import the book and show it to me without all the extra stuff happening?
