Hi, I'm a newbie in all respect - my new kindle dx and new to html, css and calibre.

I am trying to make kindle version of bible for myself.

There are 66 books (Genesis to Revealation) and each books, several chapters to 150 chapter for the book of psalm. In other words, many many htmls.

There is one css file controlling all the style.
There is TOC with links to 66 books, but it goes to the 1st chapter of the book.

My questions are 1.) how to add these files to calibre? What other files are necessary for it to work? Is it better to combine all the chapters within each book? For example, Psalm has 150 chapters (150 htmls). Should I combine 150 htmls to one html and by doing append a particular named book tag like Psalm in front of each chapters? So the existing tag reads like <Ch1>, then change like <PSCh>?

I figure that there will be other questions along the way, but, this is the first step I want to do to test and get these books into Kindle DX.

Your help, very much appreciated.
J.T.
