In that scenario the adder is usually a full computer where you can run calibre.
Well my usecase is this. I use another program to search for and download eBooks, then add to Calibre through the content server. But I get a lot of eBooks downloaded in different formats, and prefer to standardise them.

Currently, I'd need to log on to the computer and convert the books once they're added, and it'd be quite nice to be able to automate that.

Unless I'm missing a way to do that already?
