I just merged 12 issues of Lumberjanes comic ebooks into one volume with Calibre!

I expected I could, and found a plug-in that did it! Very easy, which was appreciated.

I spend over an hour a day nebulizing lung drugs, and I can't do a heck of a lot while doing it, and I figured comics are a good way to spend that time. Digging in to my old Humble Bundles, I found I had two collections that had 1-8, then individual epubs holding issues 9-20. And it SUCKED resizing them after loading them into Apple's iBooks program. I'd resize the window, and it would open two pages. Then I'd have to flip it back to single page, rinse, repeat. Then last night it occurred to me that maybe I could use Calibre to merge them into a single file!

And thus I did!

I had to load a plug-in, which was painless. I also loaded one for turning Wikipedia pages into epubs, which I look forward to exploring. Wikipedia used to have such a thing, but it disappeared. They have one that'll turn one or more pages into a PDF, but then you use your ability to reflow text if you change text size or margins.

Happy, happy!
