Make mobis downloaded via a recipe smaller
My e-mail provider refuses to send my downloaded news to my Kindle because the files are to large. I came up with this code (do not run if you have a tmp directory in your working directory):
Code:
ebook-convert big.mobi tmp.epub unzip -d tmp tmp.epub cd tmp find . -type f \ -iregex '^.*[.]\(jpg\|jpeg\|png\|gif\)$' \ -exec mogrify -quality 85 -resize '500x500>' {} \; zip -Duro ../tmp1.epub . cd .. rm -rf tmp ebook-convert tmp.epub small.mobi |

choose an output profile in calibre with a small screen size, or use the compress_news_images parameter in the recipe itself.
