I try hard to avoid that as it confuses the bookari TOC. the starting page numbers for chapters get offset when there is not a 1- 1 chapter - html file correspondence

Fantastic project. Too bad I can't read German.

Did you OCR all the PDFs yourself? Or were you working from some other source?

I had a similar project, I helped clean a collection of weekly newspaper articles written by Henry Hazlitt from 1946-1966 (~950 articles).

The TOC was organized by:

- Year
--- Title (sorted chronologically)

or one journal I helped digitize that ran from 1969-1984 (~550 articles):

- Year
--- Volume, Date
----- Title

I still don't see why you would need links to go from the <h3> back to the TOC though... if you designed the TOC properly, you should be able to use the device's functionality to jump to any other chapter in the book:

Thanks for your kind words.

Reading his reports & books (his poems are lower quality; he wasn't a poet then a prose writer) give phenomenal insights in the daily live, the social and political circumstances of these ugly times - the first World War, then the power struggles in the Weimar Republic, followed by the nazi takeover.

Joseph Roth was an excellent journalist & (book)author. Also jew, a generous grand seigneur, and sadly, an alcoholic. These circumstances adversely affect his psychosocial, financial, and health situation.

Former a close friend to Stefan Zweig; I read their (voluminous) correspondence „Jede Freundschaft mit mir ist verderblich“ (not involved in Werke 1-6). German wikipedia offers obviously much more info than the English one.

I download from archive.org source the ePub & PDF files (former are quite faulty, only to use as a rough concept - latter for the visual insights) and use largely the format that is given; appropriately adjusted to the ereader medium.

In calibre or sigil there are no problems with overview/orientation.

Edit Book view (Werke 2) (I like named, but only necessary entries (max 260 KB) in the Files Browser.)

But when reading the book with ereader? Let's say I read any report in the middle of a volume. The inline ToC in one book is about 70 pages, 8 entries per ereader page.

inline ToC (toc.xhtml)

The views of calibre Edit Book to sigil are different. So far I got very few experience with sigil.

Just I found another calibre method of ID-naming (in the subconscious know to me for some time). Can anybody say something about!?

Code:

<body>

  <h2 class="h_year">1933</h2>

  <h3 id="calibre_pb_25">Dichter im Dritten Reich</h3>

  <p class="roman_numb">I</p>

That's a system similar to sigil's:

Code:

<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_2">Golkonda</h3>
