It will let you identify the sub files and remove them from the main ebook and reconfigure the toc automatically. You can then remove the new epubs containing the sub files that you do not want from calibre.

I myself am going to split it into smaller epubs by authors, i.e. all authors with a single story will be one epub, authors with only two another.

bernie

P.S. make a backup and a test library experiment until you get what you like.

Sigil pegged all 4 cores of my CPU at 100% for a very long time, but eventually opened it. Problem is, it looks like each story has its own CSS file. Since I couldn't figure out how to search & replace in all at once, the time opening it was for naught.

(07/21/2013) Amazon Science Fiction & Fantasy Daily Deal
Todays (07/21/2013) Amazon Science Fiction & Fantasy Daily Deal is Encounter with Tiber by John Barnes and Buzz Aldrinfor $1.99 U.S.

Spoiler:
Quote:
“A classic. Its scope is astonishing, and it contains much wisdom and profound philosophy.” —Sir Arthur C. Clarke

A father and son go searching for the stars, but much more than gravity will hold them back

Born the year of the Moon landing, Chris Terence spends his life fighting to return humanity to that pinnacle. An engineering student with dreams of spaceflight, he finds upon graduation that the United States no longer has need for astronauts. Years of bureaucratic meddling have reduced the space program to a shell of itself, and it will take the greatest scientific find in history to send humanity skyward once more.

After years battling budget hawks, Chris finally gets his chance to walk on the Moon. While there, he finds evidence of an ancient alien civilization, the Tiberians, who visited Earth’s satellite eight thousand years before. Understanding what happened to those long-forgotten travelers will define the lives of Chris and his son, as they fight against all odds to unlock the secrets of the universe.

Not sure if this is exactly sci-fi or not... it's labeled as a time travel romance, but his other books are paranormal romance, so I'm going to post it here.

Free novella A Twist In Time by E.G. Glover

Quote:
Roger Grayson and Lisa Barnet were less than a week away from beginning their life together, when a fatal car accident rips Lisa away from her loving fiance'.

Nearly a year later, Roger's best friend, Gene, tries to help put the pieces of his life back together. When Gene takes Roger to an ancient stone circle called Mystery Hill, his goal was simply to get him out of the house. But when the proprietor of the circle starts talking nonsense about using Mystery Hill to travel through time, Gene tries to laugh it off, and get Roger out of there as fast as he can.

Now, Roger has left his life and a note behind. He's going to use the stones to go back to the year before... to save Lisa's life.

The Kingmaking (Pendragon's Banner Series #1)
by Helen Hollick

is this week's Nook Free Friday. You can download it for free.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/king...=9781402218880

Below is the blurb:

Who was THE MAN

Who became THE LEGEND

We know as KING ARTHUR?

"You are the Pendragon, rightful Lord of Dumnonia and the Summer Land;Lord of less Britain. By all that is right, you ought be seatedwhere Vortigern sits…You ought to be King."

Here lies the truth of the Lord of the Summer Land.

This is the tale of Arthur flesh and bone. Of the shaping of the man, both courageousand flawed, into the celebrated ruler who inspired armies, who capturedGwenhyfar's heart, and who emerged as the hero of the Dark Ages and the mostenduring hero of all time.

This is the unexpected story of the making of a king — thelegend who united all of Britain.

Cornerstone: Raising Rook by K.A. Krisko is free. I had it on my wishlist and noticed the price dropped to free, so I snagged it. It looks pretty good. Don't you love when that happens?
