Should I be using task scheduler to do what I'm trying to do (i.e. deliver news to my kindle at the same time each day even if I don't have Calibre running) or is there a smarter way to do this that avoids these issues altogether?
Thanks for your help!

The most common cause for this is that you have Calibre set to notify you if there are updates. This causes a window to pop up, to tell you that there's a new update. But Task Scheduler doesn't have an interface to the console, so it's stuck in never-never land.
Disable any automatic notifications in Calibre and it should go away.
Or schedule a task to run some time AFTER the Calibre task is done, and use this command as the task:
Code:
powershell.exe -noexit -noprofile -windowstyle hidden -command Stop-Process -name calibre
That should kill off the Calibre process for you. And since you said this was on Windows 7, you already have PowerShell there and enabled, so that shouldn't be an issue.
