Now the problem seems to be that the size of the book is too large to e-mail as I am gettign the following Clipboard error mesage;
The Fall of Berlin 1945 (552, "5.2.3 Your message exceeded Google's message size limits. Please visit\n5.2.3 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...py?answer=8770 to review\n5.2.3 our size guidelines. f5sm5590637wfg.14", u'holtzcraig@gmail.com') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 645, in _send_mails File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 106, in sendmail File "smtplib.py", line 698, in sendmail SMTPSenderRefused: (552, "5.2.3 Your message exceeded Google's message size limits.

Can I e-mail the e-book from my regular home e-mail address to my kindle e-mail address as opposed to e-mailing from my gmail e-mail address to my kindle e-mail address?

Sure, as long as the sending email address is listed as approved in Manage Your Kindle.
Also try the combination of Calibre/DropBox/Calibre2OPDS described in the stickies at the top - this works very well indeed. |

And one more query. Is Calibre smart enough to convert an Epub file to mobi BEFORE it sends the file to a Kindle, or will I need to convert it first? And if not, and I then have TWO versions of the book in my library, will Calibre send the proper version? Thanks. JLOB JLOB |

You'll need to convert it, and yes, Calibre will send the proper version. |

Must STILL be doing something wrong. Receiver has (according to him) authorized my email address. I've added his to Calibre. I converted the book. Calibre tries to send and responds with..... ERROR: Failed to email books: Failed to email the following books: Worth Dying For Failed to send mail: error(10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 645, in _send_mails File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 87, in sendmail File "site-packages\calibre\utils\smtp.py", line 79, in sendmail_direct IOError: Failed to send mail: error(10060, 'A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond') Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks. JLOB |

This feature has been upgraded significantly through the past updates, so it might make sense updating your Calibre version. Regards |

How do you recommend I update my Calibre version? Will it erase my eBooks already saved?

I just ran into the file size limit using Google mail. Seems the best option is just to side-load books of that size (Decision points - ~45mb).
Wonder what the Google mail file size limit is? |

Thanks. And of my email providers, Google allows the largest. Oh well, a quick sideload took care of it.

Can anyone help, I do all the steps above, but as I send, Calibre asks if I want to auto convert.
Do I say yes? If so, what format, as the books are just not going through to my Kindle if I say no. |
