Max keept old issues when using ebook-convert.exe??

j0s3f · 09-11-2011, 04:23 PM

Hi,
I am using a script, that uses ebook-convert.exe to grab a few News-Sites, then zip them up and send them to my @free.kindle.com address.

The problem is, the old issues stack up on my Kindle and it is a pain in the ass to delete them all by hand.
In the GUI, there is a option to set how many issues to keep.
Is there a way to set this on the commandline, so my Kindle deletes old files?

I do not believe so, I think calibre will only tidy up its library copies, and you have to manually delete the Kindle copies.
