I've just encountered a frustrating problem and hope there's ab easy solution.

Each day I have various schedules set up to get newspapers, magazines, etc. Calibre works like a dream going off and getting these for me without a moments fuss.

Each morning I plug in my Kindle and all of this new content is copied automatically over to the device as if by magic.

Alas, last night I left my Blackberry plugged in, and guess what, Calibre sent it all to the Blackberry instead of the Kindle, as I'd not got the Kindle plugged in at the time.

When I looked at the Calibre list and saw nothing new I just assumed it had run into an error grabbing the content. It wasn't until the evening that it clicked and I looked on my Blackberry, and lo-and-behold, all the content that should have been on the Kindle was sat there on the Blackberry.

So, question is ...

How can I make it so that the content downloaded does not end up on the wrong device (Blackberry, external hard drive, etc) by mistake, but goes to the Kindle as intended?
