Download News -> kindle Periodical format via email
Hi all,
Apologies if there is an obvious solution to what seems to me might be a common problem - I've searched the forum & gone through Calibre settings, but cannot find the solution. I've scheduled a daily download of a news publication from one of the preset in Fetch news -> Schedule news download. This works fine. When I transfer the file to my Kindle 4 it displays in periodical format, with navigation, and archiving of previous news. However, if I set up Calibre to email it to my free.kindle.com address, the file comes through as a normal ebook without the useful navigation features of the periodical format. Does anybody know how to set this up - would be a much smoother process if i didnt have to plug the kindle in and transfer manually every day, and just download over wifi. Thanks in advance. Kind regards Rod |

Maybe the want you to pay $$ for a Kindle News subscription instead of mail/side loading for free?
They probably want to make back the $2 they lost making every K4. Kodak did this for years. Cheep cameras. Make it back on Film and processing Digital came along, now look a the big (other) K |
