console copy

JeffElkins · 10-23-2008, 11:07 PM

Kovid, I'd like to see if I can do a command-line 'copy to device.' Something like:

$ copy2device /books/author/mybook.epub

where the console program mimics the actions of the calibre gui. I'm just now reading code, so I ask, is this doable? What calibre python program(s) do I need to study? I'm assuming that book collection data is stored in an xml file?

My python knowledge is intermediate, I've worked with sqlite3 also.
