Thanks. That would be my current method. Could some of these steps be automated with a shell/batch script? I did a search and found that Calibre has a good commandline interface:
Calibre commandline

Has anyone used those?
I have used several of the calibre CLI utilities and they work well, but calibre is not needed to copy ebooks to a kindle. Any copy method should work if the kindle is mounted as a drive on the computer.
