We&#8217;re gonna take that huge interior file you created in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/quest-for-stories-part-2\/\">Part 2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/quest-for-stories-part-3\/\">Part 3<\/a> of this series and convert it into an eBook. All by ourselves! Did you know that the base programming language of all eBooks is HTML? Yup, the same stuff used to build websites like this blog you&#8217;re reading. But fret not! Website creation may be difficult and stress-inducing, but when it comes to creating your eBook, it&#8217;s gonna be a breeze.<\/p>\n<h1>Prerequisites<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/quest-for-stories-part-2\/\">Interior file<\/a> for your book.<\/li>\n<li>The eBook creator <a href=\"http:\/\/calibre-ebook.com\/\">Calibre<\/a>. It\u2019s free!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Calibre is by far the best eBook creation software available free of charge. Even if you don\u2019t know the HTML necessary to compile the interior, the necessary coding is super simple to pick up. Calibre handles the metadata, conversion and stitching together of the final book. All you have to do is tell it what to do. So let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h1>Importing the Interior File<\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li>Open your interior file in your word processor. Save it as a&#8221;WebPage&#8221; or anything with a .html or .htm extension. The interior file must be in HTML to be convertible and editable by Calibre.\n<p><div id=\"attachment_219\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/WebPageFiltered.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-219\" data-attachment-id=\"219\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/quest-for-stories-part-4\/webpagefiltered\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/WebPageFiltered.jpg?fit=504%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"504,383\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WebPageFiltered\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Save as a WebPage&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/WebPageFiltered.jpg?fit=300%2C228&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/WebPageFiltered.jpg?fit=504%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-219\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/WebPageFiltered.jpg?resize=300%2C228&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Save as a WebPage\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/WebPageFiltered.jpg?resize=300%2C228&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/WebPageFiltered.jpg?w=504&amp;ssl=1 504w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Save as a WebPage<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<li>Open Calibre.

If you\u2019ve organized your interior file well enough with a Table of Contents and proper section breaks and Headings, this should be a walk in the park with very little code-monkeying-around. But if you&#8217;ve missed something or need to tweek, then this section will help you make those tweeks.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of trying to walk your through this process step by step, I\u2019ll give you the tools you need to do the most basic fixes, and you will use your best judgement as to what needs to be done.<\/p>\n<h1>Renaming the eBook part files<\/h1>\n<p>When you convert your interior file to an EPUB, Calibre will break the file apart by section break and headings into part files. It can be difficult to determine which part file you are in when making changes. I recommend renaming the part files to something more recognizable, like chapter numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that each chapter should be contained in at least one part file, as you will need the chapters separated in order to create a table of contents. If you need to break apart the part files, I&#8217;ll show you how to do that a little later. For now, you first need to get your book organized.<\/p>\n<p>To rename the part files:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Right click on an eBook part file and choose \u201cRename\u201d to rename it.\n<p><div id=\"attachment_227\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_Rename.gif?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-227\" data-attachment-id=\"227\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/quest-for-stories-part-4\/edit_rename\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_Rename.gif?fit=692%2C363&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"692,363\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Edit_Rename\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rename a part file&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_Rename.gif?fit=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_Rename.gif?fit=676%2C355&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-227 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_Rename.gif?resize=300%2C157&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rename a part file\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_Rename.gif?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_Rename.gif?resize=676%2C355&amp;ssl=1 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rename a part file<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<li>Ensure the \u201c.htm\u201d remains at the end of the file name when you rename it or Calibre cannot use it.<\/li>\n<li>Rename each of the files in your EPUB before moving on.

This can often lead to chapters broken apart too many times, or not enough times. To break a file apart:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Determine how many files you need to break the file into. In my case, my single file needs to be broken into 3 separate files.<\/li>\n<li>Create a new file in your part list by clicking the \u201cNew File\u201d icon. Name the file, ensuring you add the \u201c.htm\u201d to the end of your file name.\n<p><div id=\"attachment_228\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_CreateNewFile.gif?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228\" data-attachment-id=\"228\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/quest-for-stories-part-4\/edit_createnewfile\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_CreateNewFile.gif?fit=645%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"645,383\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Edit_CreateNewFile\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Create a new part file&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_CreateNewFile.gif?fit=300%2C178&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_CreateNewFile.gif?fit=645%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-228 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rissarenae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Edit_CreateNewFile.gif?resize=300%2C178&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Create a new part file\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Create a new part file<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<li>The new file will be added at the end of your part list.
