Just a bit of advice - you might be better off using RAR as your archive format. Calibre uses ZIP as a way of storing HTML based books (which typically consist of multiple files). It is therefore a good idea (although not mandated) to reserve ZIP for this type of book. I must admit I have no idea what would happen if you tried to add a HTML book (which Calibre puts into a ZIP) if you already have a ZIP containing books not in HTML format - my guess is it will replace them which will not be what you want.
Understood. I guess I would add a readme.txt files to the zip, then.

Have a nice day, thanks again.
