Just discovered this feedbooks service. It rocks and definitely makes my kindle cooler than it was before. I never really got round to reading all my rss feeds for the same reasons all those pdf files lay their unread. No longer!
Thank you. |

It does not work well for me. Only beginning of the article, existing directly in the RSS feed, is shown for every article - probably the links in RSS leading to HTML articles themselves are not followed. Furthermore, there is no TOC. Does perhaps anybody know of a different but more reliable service of this kind?
EDIT: I noticed there actually is TOC but the "arrows" cannot to be used to navigate through it from some reason... Last edited by janvanmaar; 11-15-2010 at 09:53 AM. |

Use Calibre. There are plenty of options for newspaper and feeds. Just look under "Fetch News"

I really appreciate Calibre but I love the chance to update RSS newspaper directly from kindle (especially when I'm not at home with my calibre up&running)
Feedbook newspaper feature was (sob!) a great feature also on vacation. |

I leave my PC up all the time and keep Calibre running so it's automatic for my feeds to show up on my Kindle.

This thread is over, since feedbooks is now defunct.
Here is the obituary: http://www.feedbooks.com/news |

Wow... that is sad news. No wonder I've been having problems downloading stuff from their Kindle guide.

Are you sure Feedbooks is defunct? Or perhaps only the RSS feed is over.

Have you checked www.tomykindle.com? It seems to be focused on RSS too. Btw, can Kindle somehow download stuff by itself, on a regular basis? I think it cannot be that hard to create an app for that.
