Kindle Email Format Error
I know I'm missing something obvious here, but I just tried setting up Calibre to download and autosend some news recipes and it's not autosending. When I try to manually send the file I get the error "could not email the following books as no suitable formats were found."
Using the dropdown on the main screen, I have it set to "mobi" as the output, and under preferences->general I have it set to AZW, but for whatever reason the files are definitely coming out mobi and are not able to be sent either manually or automatically. Email to Kindle seems to work just fine though, as the "test" email was sent and received. I'm a total n00b on the Kindle and this new email to Kindle thing, so I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Can anyone point me in the right direction? |

Oh. Right. Thanks! There was no format shown in that box, so I must have deleted it accidentally.
That should probably be a checklist rather than a text box. The text field is cleared if you hit the "tab" key after entering the email address as I apparently did. Anyway, it works perfectly now. You rock, Kovid. |

Do we have to pay .10 to Amazon when we email from calibre to our kindle?

I believe so, though I haven't been charged so far. I think they only charge for every 30 emails or something like that
