How to create a "taster compilation" epub?

Hi guys,

I will donate USD 20 to the wonderful cause of Calibre if I get a simple, good solution to my question.

Background: I use Calibre to create epubs from docx files. I only know the "easy tricks", because I'm not tech-savvy and am quite scared of code and breaking everything. :rolleyes:

Now, I have produced about 10 epub ebooks with Calibre which are on sale in my country. I would like to make a "free taster compilation" of these ebooks, i.e. combine the first chapters (or other chosen length of text) into a new ebook. Preferably, I would also like to add a link at the end of each taster to an ebookstore.

I am aware of the EpubMerge plugin, but have not used it yet. Would it be the best tool for me? Other suggestions?

If EpubMerge is the way forward, how should I "take out" the rest of the text of ebooks that I don't want to include in the compilation? Would it be better for a simpleton like me to take away the text before I do the merge, or afterwards?

Thanks for any suggestions.
