Subject: Order of reading imported articles

Question:

I have tried to import ebook in different forms to Supermemo. First idea was to use Calibre to convert the ebook to HTMLZ format, unzip it and import into Supermemo. It worked well, however the article was so long that the opening the article took a lot of time (Processing tags message at bottom of Supermemo). Then I decided to convert ebook to epub and unzip this file as it contains all content splitted into chapters. Now I have a problem: I do not want to read all chapters simultaneously but rather to decide which one choose next. How can I do it?

Should I set priority of subsequent chapters at 100%?

Is it possible to import chapters (as articles) and do not put them automatically into input queue, but rather manually select article to learn? It is important for me, as not all chapters are eqally important to me and I usually omit some of them.

Hints

I will tell you about my approach to working with ebooks in Supermemo when all of the chapters are separated.

I use the function Dismiss (Ctrl+D) for all chapters of the ebook, except the first one. Then, when I finish the first chapter, I use the function Learn (Ctrl+L) for the next chapter, in order to "unblock" it. I usually dismiss the chapter that I already read from the learning process, using the function Dismiss (Ctrl+D) but you can also use the function Done (Shift+Ctrl+Enter), if you want to delete its content without deleting its children. However, I prefer the function Dismiss.

After I read the second chapter, I Dismiss (Ctrl+D) it from the learning process and then "unblock" the third chapter using the function Learn (Ctrl+L), etc.
