Hello, everyone.
I just got my first Kindle 3 couple days ago. Used Sony PRS-505 before.
I have always wanted to get free stuff available on Internet (legal) into Reader without hassle of downloading, converting, USB cables etc.
Today I finally got my wish.
Here are the steps:
1. Find a book published on Internet as HTML file
using Kindle browser.
2. Add a prefix " myComputerURL.com?url=" to book URL
Like this: myComputerURL.com?url=HTTP://BookURL.com
3. In 2-3 min. book shows up on my Kindle.
Behind the scene the processing is done by Windows IIS server on my home computer and Calibre Command line utilities.
Server receives book URL, saves it to a text file on local C drive.
A simple VB6 application is scanning for this file every 5 sec.
Upon receiving the file it starts three Calibre utilities using the received URL: web2disk , ebook-convert , calibre-smtp.
web2disk receives HTML page,
ebook-convert converts it into mobi,
calibre-smtp sends it to Kindle.
Now I need to find time to actually read these books
