I would like to run Calibre as a service or on start up but without requiring a GUI window to be opened (or minimized even).
Basically, I want to set up Calibre to, say, grab some newspapers and ready them for my device so that I can grab them later by simply dragging and dropping them from the directory instead of using the GUI to send them to my device.

I tried calibre-server, but that seems to be only the web interface to the library. It doesn't seem to actually run any jobs (such as downloading a newspaper when scheduled to do so).

So, is this possible?

Thanks,

Mitch
