Hi,

I was very excited when I found Calibre. I need to convert a pile of PDF books for my mothers new kindle. I am converting them to mobi.

My first problem is my ignorance I suppose. The second problem is most of the books are PDF files,some DOCs and RTF files. Most of these are named Author-Title.extension

All I really want to do is convert the library using Bulk convert to the mobi format. The file names should not change except for the extension. Is there any way to do that?
Then use the Command line tools (see the Help page for usage syntax) from a batch file.
BTW you will be missing out on a lot of management features of Calibre. The K could care less about the name of the file, it uses metadata.
