Calibre Content Server and Kindle 3
I have Calibre 0.8.62, and a Kindle 3 with wi-fi.

I have successfully enabled Calibre Content Server, and have figured out how to connect to my Calibre library from the Kindle, via wi-fi. So I can now use the Kindle to pull books from my PC.

What I would now like to do is to push books from Calibre to the Kindle. In other words, I'd like to select a book from within Calibre, click a button, and then have the books sent via wi-fi to the Kindle.

Is that possible? (I suspect it isn't, because I've searched the Calibre docs and this forum, and can find no mention of it.)

I guess what I really want is the equivalent of the "Send to device" menu option, but via a wi-fi connection, rather than USB. I know I can get Calibre to email a book to the Kindle, but that involves a financial cost which I would ideally like to avoid.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Mike
