I have read the Calibre manuel but still do not understand how to incorporate separate chapters into one ebook. Is there a site or a site in the forums that explains step by step to a non tech saavy ebook beginner?

Hey I am in the boat. I don't understand the whole xpath stuff at all lol. And I have looked at the manual quite a few times. But I love having a Table of Contents. So I am just hoping over time I end up gleaning how to do this.

Hi there, just a quick question, I'm thinking of buying a Kindle2, can calibre convert epub and mobi formats to kindle2. Thanks

WT Sharpe · 01-24-2010, 09:24 AM

Not without stripping the DRM.

The good news is that the Kindle can easily read side-loaded non-DRM mobi formats, and calibre can easily convert non-DRM epub books to non-DRM mobi books.

How can I convert a book without setting a book cover? I usually convert PDFs to FB2s or EPUB, and Calibre always sets a book cover for me (the first page of the PDF document). Thus my documents become twice as large. I don't want any book cover, just the content of the document.

Specify your own small image as a cover.

Is there any chance this topic could be retired, and a new FAQ started that only Kovid and his developers can post to? It could be used for problems that are seen often and their solutions. You know, kind of a FAQ.

This interactive thread is getting to be quite a slog...

Thanks!

I don't know how to restrict posting to thread to only certain members. There is a link to the real calibre FAQ in the first post of this thread.

Yes, I did that. I thought that there might be some option I haven't found that allows me to turn the cover off.

Not that I can recall

I believe that Forum Moderators can edit Locked threads.

Thanks Kovid! The real FAQ looks great and is just what I was hoping for. I misread your link in the first post - I thought you were referring to this topic which has the same name...

Thanks Kovid for the excellent Calibre software. I use it with my PRS 900 with a extra card memory.

Only a question, using calibre how can I backup in the computer disk the books that I have in the extra memory of PRS 900? I did it with the books that were in the internal memory without problem.

thanks and bes regards
Mario

kovidgoyal · 01-28-2010, 12:49 PM

Do it the same way. there's no fundamental difference beween books in the main mem and on the card

msalmona · 01-28-2010, 01:29 PM

I am impressed for your fast and gently answer Kovid.......

my best regards
