Adding multiple files to a Calibre e-book (anthology)

Trollheart · Yesterday, 03:11 PM

Hi guys.
I'm trying to add a bunch of short stories to a Calibre e-book so that they will all be in the one anthology I can read. But I'm having serious trouble adding any of them. I can create one book, but then adding others to it seems problematical. I know I did this before, but I just can't remember how, so any help in adding, and also creating a working TOC assuming I get them added, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for any help.

Try the EpubMerge plugin and see how you get on.

It's okay; it finally came to me, and thanks for the reply. What I need to do is put all the documents in one, then use H1 headers to mark each separate story, like the chapters in a book. The system then recognises each H1 header and assigns it, or it can be assigned, a place on the TOC which enables me to go directly to that story.

Thanks again. I knew it was possible, just could not remember how I did it.
