Sony PRS-650 Reader Touch Edition

It's February 2011 and I am busy playing with a new Sony PRS-650 (black).

First off I want to be able to read the morning paper on it.

I am using Calibre software but I don't want to run the desktop GUI all the time. I want to run a script as a cron job.

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.

cd /tmp
ebook-convert "San Francisco Chronicle".recipe sf_chronicle.epub
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

I think once the download and conversion is completed all I need to do is copy the epub files to the Reader.

cp sf_chronicle.epub /media/READER/database/media/books/

but I could be wrong...

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