Calibre news server, download and send

marsim · 08-27-2011, 02:33 AM

Hi all,

I would like to use calibre or some parts of its source code to implement a configurable service or server (as a linux daemon for example) that automatically gets my news feeds using calibre recipes, prepares the mobi and sends it to my kindle account for automatic delivery on my kindle. This way having a nitghtly schedule, in the morning I'll have the device fully loaded with my favourites news.

Any suggestions about where start from ?

Use the command line tools in cron jobs. ebook-convert also downloads recipes, calibredb adds to the library if you want that, calibre-smtp sends to email. There's documentation available that should help get you started, also, a forum search for 'ebook-convert recipe' should find some examples for scripts and such.
