I’ve set up Automator to “watch” the folders where I download my ebooks – either in epub, pdf, or Kindle – and move them into a separate folder.
These types of programs really are harnessing the power of your computer and making the device work for you. I’ve just started researching Automator and I’m blown away at what it can be set up to do for you.
In the future, rather than executing each step individually, you simply run the macro.īut MAC Operating Systems have a macro utility built right in. A macro utility essentially records a number of repetitive steps to complete a task. It was the first time I had heard about Hazel, a low priced software that serves as a macro utility. While the user did this to automatically strip the DRM from the books, the tutorial is smart for any one who wants to create an ongoing catalog of their purchases. I saw a post the other day about using Hazel + Calibre to automatically import your Kindle files into Calibre.
This is a MAC only post but next week Brian will author a post for PC users
