Sorry Doitsu, I am so so frustrated. I invested 6 months into learning and using Scrivener to write my book and now I have a full ePub that reads fine on the Kindle and it's ready to go to KDP.
But instead now I have to start learning Sigil from scratch and all I wanted to do is add a title and copyright page FFS.
After spending all of today on google, I thought I could unzip my ePub and just add a few extra .xhtml files using Dreamweaver ... but now after zipping it again it won't read. I am guessing that the files structure that I changed don't match the original toc.ncx. But I can't edit the toc.ncx.
EPUB is a zip file with special rules.
Sigil obeys the rules.

You did save a good copy?


Sigil is easy (writing a book is HARD )

Open your book
File: Add: Blank HTML file

in the book browser pane
(optional: rename it) Move it up to where it belongs (drag it)

In the edit window:
set the insert point (Must be between the Body Tags)
Click the H# or P button: Type words use the style buttons on selected words as needed

Repeat

For a single page, stylesheets are sorta optional. Using a linked stylesheet is cleaner
Repeat
