I guess this is exactly what I, too, want to achieve on my Windows PC, but can not get it work (I have limited skills and might be aven unable to phrase the question correctly, I am sorry).

Could some kind soul please describe the steps needed to set up the following scenario (which seems to be in operation for a number of people here on the forum):

Windows PC /Vista running latest version of calibre. PC programmed using the task scheduler to wake up at 6:55am in the morning to run a batch file.

A number of news feeds set in Calibre to download every day at 07:00am.

PC will hibernate at 7:20am.

Questions:

Do I need to leave calibre running or can I use somehow Kovid's command line below to execute in a scheduled batch file? If I use that command line, are the programmed download times for the feeds immaterial?

If yes, how do I figure out the "title.recipe" parts for the news feeds? Do I take them from c:\Program Files\Calibre2\resources\recipes\xxx.recipe?

I suppose I can use "output.mobi" for the Kindle3. This creates a xxx.mobi file, but will the feed get emailed to the Kindle though? Or do I need to invoke this separately? Do I do that with calibre or via a command line email-instruction?

Can I have an arrangements such that *only* the news are mailed, other books are transmitted via USB?

Is there a way to put these feeds into a collection on the kindle? What happens to the older versions, do they get deleted after a while (can I control the time period?)

Does anyone have a batch file that can be modified and used?

Well, I apologize for this long list of questions, but I am desperate to get this working, it would be sooo convenient.

Thanks for any help,
