Sony PRS-650 Reader Touch Edition

Automated Newsfeed

My goal here is to use my "always-on"* Ubuntu server Bellman as a download machine for news. It will run a news download script in the morning, and then transfer the news to my Reader.

These commands will download the news.

ebook-convert "The Nation".recipe the_nation.epub
ebook-convert "The Guardian / The Observer".recipe The_Guardian.epub
ebook-convert "Christian Science Monitor".recipe CSM.epub

cd /tmp
foreach pub in *.epub
  do
    echo calibredb add --with-library /home/bwilson/CalibreLibrary $pub
  done

\*Actually Bellman currently shuts down every night and starts itself up every morning.
