Hi there,

I'm trying to use the Automator in Mac to do a oneclick solution for converting a epub-file to mobi and then send this file by mail to my kindle.

I got the conversion working with this bash-skript:

Code:

while read LINE
do
	/usr/bin/ebook-convert "$LINE" "$LINE.mobi" --output-profile kindle_pw
done

I tried to include calibre-smtp but the script always failes. How can i hand over the converted file to calibre-smtp in the same command?

calibre-smpt -a "$LINE.mobi" -u... -p... and so on isn't working.

Thanks for your help!
