Hi,
I am using Calibre to collect BBC news using the "collecting news" option to send them in a Kindle format to my tablet.
To do this I am using a Windows task which starts calibre-portable every morning - I have a planned task within Calibre to collect the news and send them. It works very well, except that once the Windows task has started it remains active and prevents opening any new standard instance of Calibre, with a curse from Python. I cannot do anything like converting e-books. I must first kill the task before being able to run Calibre.
If somebody has a clue, thank you in advance for your help. :-)
