Kindle touch rss

whoqwerty · 12-15-2011, 11:07 PM

I've had the the older generation kindle. I recently upgraded to the kindle touch. I am having problem with non-amazon periodicals, such as instapaper, readability, and kindlefeeder. They all deliver to my kindle however, as a non-periodical (ebook format) and I cannot delete the file from my kindle touch by simply long pressing on it. I have to delete it via usb, or from my amazon cloud then sync via 3g/wifi.
My issue is this, are there any ways of viewing rss feeds in the browser somehow?
The only solution I have found is to download the .mobi file from instapaper directly via the expiremental browser. However, the problem here is that instapaper does not update versions of the page, or grab new articles on a website as the page updates.
I need to read my rss feeds

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated

I use Calibre to download RSS feeds. You can find a guide here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news.html

pretty cool site, unfortunately same issue.
I can't delete the file off my kindle touch by simply long pressing on it

nevermind I found a workaround, I changed my email so that redbeam emails my hosting provider which in turns hosts the file on a site, I bookmarked the site on my kindle and I can download the mobi file straight from the browser which doesn't get altered by amazon's servers.

Oh, that's nifty. Thanks for sharing that.

Yes, it does. It will download the feed at an specific time and send it via email to your Kindle. You just need to configure your "free" Kindle account on Calibre and make sure your Kindle has WiFi Enabled.
