Adventures in Omnibus Creating

Ahoy, omnibus creators. For a few weeks now I've been working on a "personal consumption only" ePub project involving combining a bunch of books by a single author into a 1-3 volume omnibus (still working out space req's), which when completed will be how I dive into reading the books for the first time. In addition to arranging the books and stories in the order that I've decided on, I'll be reformatting them as well.

I'm hoping to fill in some knowledge gaps, if possible, related to anything that comes up for other folks here. E.g. ideas about specific things like structure, reading flow, to stuff like best practices, pitfalls, ethics, etc., or even more general thoughts/experiences,observations. Fwiw I feel like I probably have a decent plan in place and feel good about the technical and logistical side of things, but I'm open to input on that front, too.

Please share your thoughts!

Personally, I use the EpubMerge plugin for calibre to merge epubs into a single volume. It does some funky stuff such as putting the book files and stylesheets for each book in a subdirectory so each book has access to it's CSS but that is more or less necessary.

This thread seems to be broken. I read it and it still shows as unread.

Edit: Adding this post fixed the problem.

It seems to be happening on a lot of threads lately.

I think it is because of the presence of posts waiting for moderator approval.
