I downloaded a zipfile that should have been a book. Instead, it was all the files that make up an ebook. I tried for 45 minutes to get it compiled (if that is the right word) in Calibre to no avail. How can I get it into readable format?

The ZIP includes the following:
Top level, mimetype file, OEBPS and META-INF folders
OEBPS has two files: content.opf and toc.ncx
and three directories: Images (all of them JPEG), Styles (two stylesheets) and Text (all the text of the book in many html files).

I tried launching "add books" from each individual file and from each directory. None of them became a book, nor a convertible format.

If this has been covered previously, a link would be great.
