Following Noodlesoft’s guidance, I set up two rules for the calibre folder. So I want an automated way to copy the ePub files from the calibre folder structure into the epubs folder. This is great, but I find it easiest to configure Marvin to download ePubs from a single Dropbox folder, one that I’ve cleverly named epubs. Finally, within each book folder are the ebook files themselves and some metadata. Within these are folders for each book from a particular author. At the next level are folders for each author. At the top level is the calibre folder, which I keep in Dropbox. This doesn’t do the conversion in place and overwrite the Kindle file it makes a new file in ePub format.Ĭalibre organizes its library in subfolders according to author and book. I then copy the book from the Kindle into the Calibre library and convert the format to ePub. 2 When I buy I new book from Amazon, it gets sent to my Kindle. If you have ever felt the need to convert the format of an ebook, you’ve probably used Calibre, so I won’t spend more than a couple of sentences describing how I use it. The tools I use to do this efficiently are Calibre, Hazel, and, occasionally, a one-liner shell script. 1 This means I have to convert my Kindle books to ePubs (the format Marvin understands) and put them in a Dropbox folder that Marvin can access.
