How do you convert books like those from BAEN that are multiple HTML files? How do you get BD to "grab" all of the links?

BD does not grab files over the net. The files need to be on your system to start with. Now if you have seperate HTML files and want to put them together, BD does have a book joiner. Just go to the tools menu and select Join Books. It will only join HTML or text formats. I have used it for HTML and it works fine.
What I did for the last Bean book I converted was to use the LIT format version. It's all contained in the one file. BD will load the lit file. Then all I did was clean it up, and done. Cleaning up is suslaly fixing the ToC because BD tents to get this wrong sometimes. But overall it's a fairly simple process. Download the lit file, load it into BD, clean it up, save the BD source, save the LRF, load the LRF onto the reader and read.
