itimpi: we already know all this.
dwanthny: woo! Now that's the man page info I was looking for! ... the system installed man page here for ebook-convert doesn't list all that info, just the very very basic definition of what ebook-convert does. Thanks I think, maybe I can get ebook-convert pulling a news recipe now via command line only.
user_none: The problem, Everybody uses the latest and greatest CPU with mega memory and forget about people using P3's, etc. A lot of code is just bloat and sitting doing nothing except eating cpu/memory power. Also, the more code you've got running, the more problems one might get. I get a lot more done via command line, except for reading stuff online through a browser. If I do use a GUI, it's only for a short time to get to know the tool, then I just write my recipe for automating the task via CLI.
If I get free time this Winter, I'll look into the calibre source to figure if I can configure --without-qt. Technically speaking, should be able to, but as you guys stated, PDF conversion stuff is using QT stuff instead of non-GUI tools. :-/
