Hey man, I am sorry and not to be mean if english is not your native language but...

I have no idea what you are asking about and no clue what you are trying to accomplish. 22 other people have looked as well and I am guessing are also a bit confused.

Can you please be more specific so people can try to understand what you want to do?

No, I am afraid that Calibre does not (currently at least) support what you want. You can only produce a single format from running a recipe before you change the output format.

He's asking if Calibre can automatically generate a file in two different formats from a single recipe.

And then send both formats to his or her kindle at the same time.This part I think can be done, but I know nothing about recipes, so don't go by me.

I don't use the news recipe functionality so am not sure if its possible but if you can specify the format in the recipe you can make a duplicate recipe with a different name that should allow you to get what you want.
But calibre will download everything twice.

Ah. Apologies to the OP - clearly I was the one who was confused.

No, you can't specify the output format individually by recipe. You set your preferred device/format, and that's what the recipe creates.

One option is to use the ebook-convert command line tool to make different formats, then add them to Calibre.

Either use the command line as starson suggests or have two calibre installs, one for each format.

Can the two installs:
1) share the same library while both are running?
(I assume no - it would be like two different computers simultaneously accessing the same library. Does Calibre detect itself in memory and affirmatively prevent this on a single computer?)

2) share the same library only when running separately?
(This would seem to work OK - different config directories for the two installs.)

3) never share the same library? (Can you then run simultaneously?)

Inquiring minds want to not screw things up.

calibre will not allow you to run two copies of itself in the same computer. When I say two installs, the two installs would have to be on different computers.
