Alternatively, there is a somewhat undocumented feature you could use: first_chapter (and last_chapter), when set in personal.ini, have the same affect as a chapter range after the URL during download.
Download as is, use EpubSplit to extract the first 9 books to new books, then set in personal.ini:
Code:

first_chapter:205
You'd probably need to "Update Always" on it the first time to discard chapters 1-204.
I've used first_chapter before for doing exactly this; splitting lengthy stories into parts.
You also need to clear the Identifier:url settings in Calibre--I assume you will already be changing the titles--to avoid updates finding the split off stories. |
That worked brilliantly, thanks!
One thing though, when I did an overwrite update on the latest book to trim it down to just the book 10 chapters it overwrote the title. Is there a way to stop that, or will regular updates (i.e. not "overwrite always") not do that in the first place?
