Hi everyone--

I'm new to the Kindle platform, and got my Kindle Touch last week -- and like the rest of you, was disappointed about the lack of "Sections and Articles" in Calibre-delivered documents (but love Calibre!). Sending RSS feeds to my Kindle each morning for my train ride was an important factor in my buying a Kindle.

I'm thinking about returning my Kindle Touch for a basic Kindle 4. From what I've been reading, it still works with Sections and Articles, right?

Also, understanding we can't see the future -- my fear in going to the Kindle Basic is that a software update will disable the current ability to see S&A on emailed files, bringing us right to where the Touch and Fire are. I have no experience with Amazon -- is this the sort of thing I should expect them to change in an incremental software update, or are they usually more bug-fixing updates?

If you were into RSS feeds as a major use of your Kindle, what would you do?

Thanks! I'll be following the discussion, hoping that the community can figure this out!
