I like to use Calibre to download news and send it to my Kindle. I currently have it set-up on my Windows machine to download the news every day at 9pm as I know my computer will be on at that time. Ideally, I'd like to download news first thing in the morning so I can keep up-to-date.

I installed Calibre on a Raspberry Pi (running Raspbian OS), planning to automate the Pi to come on every morning, download news, email it to my Kindle, and then turn off.

I can get Calbre as far as downloading all of my news sources - after that, it doesn't automatically convert and email the ebooks to my Kindle, even though I have the same settings on the Pi as on my Windows machine. I can manually trigger a test email from Calibre to my Kindle.

Is this functionality only available in the Windows version of the software, or does the conversion process take more processing power than the Raspberry Pi has?
