Hi!

I'm curious is there any way to send e-books from Calibre to kindle device using wi-fi? Just like copy via USB, but... without USB. Of course I'm talking about jailbreaked device that's in the same local network as PC with Calibre.

So... I have jailbraked kindle, succesfully configured openssh server in usbnetwork, set password, installed public ssh key. I can send e-book directly to my kindle using scp. All this can be (and has to be) done without Calibre.

But why bother with command line and not build some interface in Calibre? Like in command:

$ ssh $EbookFileName root@$MyKindleLocalIP:/mnt/us/documents/$SomePath

- I assume that $MyKindleLocalIP is to enter in plugin options and $EbookFileName and $SomePath are just taken from book database, like in USB 'case'.

What do you think? Or maybe it has been done already? The problem I see is one-way communication, ssh have some status messages, though. But we can't "connect" device, and kindle doesn't replay for pings.

There's something in Connect/Share menu "Start wireless device connection", but I'm pretty sure it's designed for something else.
