What I would like to know is what is the most simple and efficient way to create an ebook with TOC, each texts being a chapter. What process and software ? Several softwares are often mentionned here such as Calibre, Sigil and Mobipocket editor but what method is best suited for me ? And which format for justified text ? PDF, Epub, LRF ?
Use Sigil. It will allow you to paste each web page into a chapter and will create the TOC for you. Works great at creating ePub.

Best thing? It, like Calibre, is FREE!
