I'm interested in cobbling together (for my own personal use) books out of bits and pieces I get here and there. For instance, a cookbook. Right now I have an expandable file folder with printouts of recipes from a variety of sources. It would be great if I could organize them together into a electronic book. Perfect world it would have hyperlinks and fancy stuff like that, but if that's a lot of work the electronic equivalent of my file folder with tabs would be fine. In the case of the recipes, they are short enough that I'm OK with doing a bit of format editing here and there to clean up line breaks and so forth. Where do I even start? What program would be best?
