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?

1. You need to do each download/convert one at a time. Pick out the largest one and time how long it takes, then use that plus 30% as the time to allow for your jobs.
2. Configure a swap-file, enable it, and set swappiness to 10 or more. You can play around with this to find the best setting. See
this page to set up a swap file with 1gb of RAM setup a swap of 1gb and swappiness to 20.
My desktop running Mint did the same when I had a memory failure and had only 1 gb of ram with the swap turned off.
