merging multiple ebook

ranlynn · 10-22-2011, 10:04 PM

Hi all, I brand new here & I have a question.

I follow several amature writer sites some of which allow you to download the stories in various ebook formats.

My question is can Calibre be used to combine several ebook files into one 'book'.?

Some of the writers I follow are very prolific & if I can combine, say a dozen or so if their shorter stores into one volume (Stories by ......) it would help to streamline my 'library'.

Thanks for any help.

No.

You might want to try this section of mobileread for assistance, or the Sigil forum.

calibre can convert each of the different short story formats into one common format such as RTF, that is editable in an Editor/word-processor like Word or OpenOffice.org. In the Editor you can copy and paste each separate story's Editable format into one larger book document. Then save it from the Editor as a format calibre can import, for example RTF. Add that to calibre. Convert it from RTF to whatever book format you want. The quality of the result depends on your skill in the Editor putting the book together.

If those stories are html just make an index file linking to all the other stories import it into calibre convert it to epub and you have multiple stories in one book.
