I'm not sure, but I think there's some confusion in this thread, some of which I may have contributed to. I did a lot of testing when looking for a workaround, and it's the Calibre programs (calibredb is what I tested) that have bat file problems, and there are problems only when another command follows them in the bat file.
IOW, I'd expect
web2disk ....
ebook-convert ....
to work in a bat file, but not:
ebook-convert ....
web2disk ....
The problem is that the bat file dies after the Calibre executable is done.
Does W7 run bat files to the end when the Calibre executable is followed by another executable or only when it is preceded by a non-Calibre executable? The latter always works for me regardless of the use of "start."
