I have Calibre installed, and am downloading Chicago Breaking News, Chicago Tribune, Onion, CNN, USA Today and New York Times. I was able to download the news, batch convert and put it on my kindle. Here is my problem - how do I find the time to read all this? Walking the dog and bathing are definately out.:rofl:

You could probably hire somebody to walk your dog, and as for bathing, I'd say nothing like reading in a hot bath.

Or you could teach your dog to read and have him/her give you an executive summary. ;)

could you add "teaching your pet to read so they can give you an executive summary of all your news feeds" to the next version of calibre please ?
maybe as a plug-in.

Actually, I did wait for it to be supported in ADE, since before that there wasn't much point. Just as would be the case with dogs, I can just imagine all the angry dog mail I would get from disappointed dogs about how I got their hopes up all to be dashed by the lack of a dog reader.

I'm subscribed to over 50 rss feeds. Now tell me who's the one with a problem here. :)

I think she is already trying to post on mobileread. She keeps putting her paw on the computer! So obviously she can read. Since they have a problem with opposable thumbs. maybe a different keyboard.
