Hi all,

I'm planning to utilize a calibre server for my friends, who happen to use different e-readers.

I'm asking is there a possibility, to reuse the already downloaded news/html files for conversions to different output formats without re-downloading them? (e.g. I shall create a .mobi file from the recipe via the CLI/ebook-convert, then want to create a .epub from the same recipe and don't want to waste bandwith (currently on an EC2 instance).)

My 2nd question is: how does one create a recipe/parse_index for a page without rss AND has multiple section pages? E.g. there is a technology section on a site, and the last link is "next page" (on every page, but the last), and I want to add the "h2" article items with the same article date to the feed from every page...

Thanks for any advice!
