Convenience means the state of being convenient. Being convenient means being free of difficulties or problems. "I will come to your office at your convenience." means I will come at a time which will cause you the fewest problems. "Our hotel has provided shower caps for your convenience." means that you will be spared the problem of needing a shower cap and not having one with you. In British English a "convenience" is a public toilet, which can certainly solve problems or difficulties. A convenience store is one which is open at times other stores might not be, so you are spared the problem of having to wait to purchase something you need.

Convenience is not about time. Doing something when it is convenient does not save time, and does not make doing whatever you are doing easier in itself. If you want someone to read a letter to you, it will take as long and be just as easy whether he is sitting in an armchair or driving his car at high speed through a busy urban area. But if he's driving, boy will it be inconvenient!
