Is there a way someone could make a plugin that allows Calibre users to select a number of books that will then be auto-added to device in small batches at set timed intervals?
I have a huge library and 3 Kindles. I cannot possibly sit around and download my books 15 at a time. Took me 12 hours once for one Kindle.
Whoever makes this plug in will definitely be getting paid because the ability to plug in my device and have it auto download in batches that will allow the proper indexing of files is invaluable to those who have to do it often.
I know that many people wouldn't populate their readers with so many books, but this is what I need. I tend to have to reset my Kindles often and even if i download 100 books it is still a long time.

I know for a kobo this would not help in that Kobo does not process the content until it is disconnected from the host.

Long shot, in the dark, from left field ==>> Maybe it could be done via mailing the batches to the kindles using the
calibre-smtp command in a script that includes embedded waits.
Maybe the Reading List PI could used to define the 'batches' and the Catalogue function could be used to create a CSV from the Reading list(s), which the script can use as its 'driver'. Script kiddies, probably outnumber competent python programmers. Maybe someone has a tweakable script.
