#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,
