I have over 700 books and user manuals. I've notice that the program seems to eat up Mem Usage as it continues to be active during a whole week--even though it is minimized to my tray bar. It gets to a point that it slows down my XP machine or Calibre becomes unresponsive when I try to restore it to a full window--I only have 2GB or RAM on this machine.

I would love to only fetch the News and then have the program turn off during the rest of the day. And only turn it on manually when I need to send a new book to my Kindle or add a new one. So I would like to be able to schedule it to turn on at 5:55am and turn off at 7:00am so it finishes fetching the news and emailing it to my Kindle 3.

Hopefully there is a way without having to use a third party program. Thanks.
Windows has Scheduled Tasks
All you have to do is set it up for Calibre
Be sure to allow sufficient time to run the fetch and convert.
