Do you have your mail settings setup similar to the image attached to post 10?

Did you test these settings by sending a book to another email account?

I am downloading the mobi from Gmail. Or at least trying to, the same way Daffy does. The idea being that I'd be able to download files for free over 3G.

Uhm- you can. It's called the Calibre content server.

I've got the news feed pulls setup, need to sort out the packaging and sending aspects next. Any hints?

Hi,

I have a way to automate the web-to-mobi conversion and auto-send them to my Kindle account. See from this link:

I'm not sure it will work for complex webs; but it works perfectly at least from the weblog I do.
