Kovid if I get 0.5.1 working I'll make a donation to the calibre project. I think my calibre library is located at this location :

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/calibre-0.5.1-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg/calibre/library

I think it compiled here originally :

/usr/local/src/calibre-0.5.1/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.5

Thanks a lot Kovid that seems to have worked. I tested both a news downloading recipe and uploaded four books to my device and it all worked just fine. I am going to now make a donation
