#4 Calibre Training:  3 Effective Skills are taught in how to create TOC.NCX for your Kindle and ePub Books and Learn how to Merge your books into One Anothology


Part 1:  Calibre Skill:  Learn How To Create a  .TOC.NCX for an ePUB Book with Calibre

5 Major Concepts:

  1. Understand the ePUB books in Calibre are coded with many index_split_.html files in accordance to the size of the ePUB book.

  2. Learn how to edit the ePUB book by looking at the divisions that separate the index_split_html files.

  3. Learn how to code the Chapter numbers in the  HTML files that  correspond to the ePUB book so that they can appear on the .toc.ncx  file.

  4. Learn how to read a little  HTML source codes so that you can put in  the Chapter Numbers to create the  .toc.ncx for the ePUB book.

  5. Learn how to synchronize the HTML files to the Chapter divisions of  the book so that the chapter sections are hyperlinked to the .toc.ncx of  the ePUB book.


Part 2:  Calbre Skill:  Learn how to format Kindle book into MOBI files correctly

Some self publishing authors try to upload their  ePUB book onto Amazon without taking the trouble to re-format the book  correctly into .MOBI or .AZW3.  When that happens, the ebook looks like  this on Kindle:

  • All the words and sentences are squished together overlapping one another

  • There is no proper formatting of margins, line spaces, and correct fonts

  • There is no table of contents that are hyperlinked into the body of the book

This is the situation we want to avoid.

In the past, I would work from the original document  written in WORD to format ePUB books into .MOBI format.  This requires a  lot of time to fix the fonts sizes, styles, table of contents, margins,  page set up, etc for each individual books.

What is less known by people is that  you can actually use the Calibre software to create Kindle books for Amazon.

  • Amazon requires good formatting with .MOBI or .AZW3 extension for  their different Kindle devices and Calibre provides that feature for  those who are familiar with Kindle formatting.

  • When you know how to use this feature,  you can convert any ePUB  books into a .MOBI or .AZW3 format for Kindle readers.

  • This becomes very handy when you have lots of ePUB books to reformat  for  your Kindle reader.  - You don't need to work from the original  source of the book.  You can take an already ePUB formatted book and  turn it into an enjoyable readable book for the Kindle Readers.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to turn an   ePUB book into a good-looking MOBI format with clickable hyperlinked  table of content to read in your Kindle Reader.

4 Major Concepts:

  1. Amazon Kindle is very particular about the formatting so you will  learn how to put in the correct formatting in Calibre for correct font  sizes and the layout of the book. This will make sure that your fonts  are not squished together overlapping each other on the lines.

  2. You will learn to put in the metadata and html descriptions into the Kindle book with Calibre.

  3. You will learn how to structure the page set up so that the content  of the book stays within the guidelines of Amazon Kindle different  eReader devices.

  4. You will learn that the structure detection code will have the the  h1 and h2 detection to instruct Calibre to turn the .MOBI book into a  clickable hyperlinked table of content.


Part 3:  Calibre Skill:  Learn how to combine different ePub books into One Anthology

Many of my clients have written short story books  in series to sell  them in  different eBookstores.  When the series go up to a certain  number, they want to combine their ePUB books and sell them as  anthologies - a series in a bundle of 3, 4, 5, etc.  The whole idea is  to get their books selling more and more when they are bundled together  as a Master Volume.

5 Major Concepts:

  1. Learn how to use the hidden "Merge ePub Book" plug-in for Calibre

  2. Learn how to customize & configure the plug-in into your Calibre Software

  3. Learn how to add your books in sequences with non-DRM ePUBs into your Library

  4. Learn how to configure the Metadata for the new ePUB book including  titles, author, publishers, date, languages, comment description, book  cover, etc.

  5. Learn how to code in the Table of Contents with h1, h2 HTML  configuration so that you get the TOC hyperlinked for the 3 Books with  subheadings for the chapters for each book


Come on in and we are going to have fun together to expand your business,
