Thank you both Ghitulescu and Quoth for your suggestions. The original query may not have been clear. My wife and I both have libraries of images, kept in two separate directories on our personal webspace, which are used by our genealogy website. We construct pdf books from the html notes of the website using an older version of Calibre. The notes reference the images from the two directories. After constructing the pdf, the images are apparently incorporated into the pdf, because the books display in standard pdf readers, even when the computer is disconnected from the web. when I use the newer version of Calibre, it does not seem to allow the references to the images on the internet. Perhaps we should maintain a merged directory on my computer for constructing a pdf using the New version of Calibre. We use the pdf format because our readers like to refer to stable page numbers when they write to us about the books. Page numbers are an important feature for academic citations. The pdf format is not merely for managing formatting of a printed page.
Thanks.
