Calibre Web Server: Auto Convert option?

Eurisko · 05-12-2014, 01:51 PM

I have a rather large ebook collection that are all mostly in ePub format. I have been working with the web server feature which is great to allow my kids or myself to go in and snag a new book to read.

Unfortunately, it only seems to offer the book download in the format I have it in. I would hate to duplicate my entire library just to have it accessible to my kindles also. Seems like a lot of wasted space.

Is there anyway to configure the server (or a plugin I can install), that will let me choose the format to download and have the web server convert the book on the fly like the GUI does?

Thanks!

Nope.

Besides, you will just end up with the wasted space once you send it anyway.
