Can Sigil Merge ebooks?

sl23 · 11-21-2020, 07:30 AM

Simple question, probably a technical answer

Specifically, I'm talking about merging several talks into a single ebook.

But I wondered if it affects things like the current Bookmarking that is specific to each ebook in it's unmerged stated, would those bookmarks be lost if you could somehow merge two (actually 84 books!) together?

Calibre can do this, with the epubmerge plugin

Excellent I'll give it a try. Thank you

Works great - thanks for the tip, and thanks to the author for this great plugin

And to officially answer the question: no. Sigil has the ability to merge (x)html files, but has no inherent tool to automate the merging of books.

Sorry, I didn't explain that very well!
But I found that Cablre's Plugin does the job perfectly. Thanks for the info though.

Oh, I understood you well enough. I was merely answering your original question: "Can Sigil merge ebooks". It seemed to have gotten lost in the Calibre plugin solution to your problem.
