Does the Sharing books by email feature only work on News items that have been downloaded? If say "only share epubs with specific tag xyz" and I add an .epub to the library and set tag to xyz, will it be shared via email even though it's not a news epub?

Another option I came up with is to use calibre-smtp. Couldn't find any actual examples of using calibre-smtp and this actually worked for me so wanted to share. Not crazy about providing plain-text password, but it is app specific, so that should limit it's abilities. And I will probably put it in a restricted shell-script to run via cron. I should probably post this in recipes or admin can move. My workflow now would be 1) browsing web, see an article I want to read/save for later 2) use the remarkable save as epub browser extension (i posted about this on reddit, it's more customizable than send-to-kindle and has nicer formatting) saving to a specific directory 4) nightly cron job will use ebook-meta to change all files to author "webarticle" or similar 5) move all files to another folder that calibre is monitoring for auto-ingest into the library which can sync to kindle over USB **OR** after ebook-meta is run, email epubs as attachments with proper sleep between each iteration sending the book 6) remove epubs. Reason I want to email epub to kindle is to allow for annotation and highlighting which would then be usable by another application or service. I'm also want to test epubmerge [https://github.com/JimmXinu/EpubMerge] as well so that it would be more of a digest of articles and instead of running a nightly cron job make it weekly. calibre-smtp -v youremail@outlook.com username_RghIk@kindle.com article -a ~/Documents/fromBrave/doc1-test.epub -r outlook.com -p 587 -u youremail@outlook.com -p appspecificpassword Last edited by tatteredscroll; 12-12-2023 at 07:31 PM. |

What is a Bummer?
Set up destination profiles as needed (EPUB for my Kobo). Right click the book in the book list:send by... to ,profile> I don't think anyone accepts bulk sends. they must be spaced ou by a few minutes |

I've now got my shell script built with the added ebook-meta changes I wanted. To get around the send, wait, send, wait cycle, I'm going to use EpubMerge on five epubs created from website articles and send the one merged file. EpubMerge should create a TOC for each one to have that Calibre News look and feel. |
