Is it easy to make book combinations into omnibus?

I've moved this thread to the workshop section, because it fits better here.

To answer your question, Dragoro, it is really quite easy to combine books to make an omnibus. I use Book Designer to do this. But I believe that Calibre is also capable of doing it.
I see that you will shortly be having a kindle 2. This will read Mobipocket books, as well as the amazon formats. It is very easy to import several books into Mobipocket Creator and make an omnibus version.

Which books are you planning to compile into an omnibus edition?

I wanted to put all of Poe's works here at mobileread into one, allows the kindle to be better organized right? Think Ill have to either wait for someone to do it or wait for my kindle to arrive. Right now I dont have any way of testing to make sure im doing it right.

well if you make it in mobi pocket creator, and you finish it and get a PRC file and can read it in mobi pocket reader, your doing it right.

i only have to note though that on some readers, Large books take longer to Open and longer to turn the page. weather this will be the case or not on the K2 i do not know.
