Ok, I decided to take a plunge and try out the "News" function. I succeeded with Calibre in downloading the RSS of a news website, but it included ALL the articles and it seems impossible to navigate with the PB 360 to any particular one, so you have to page through the whole thing to find the one you want to read. Is there any way to download just the articles you want to read?

Then I tried saving ( in text or html) the individual articles on the website that I wanted to read (later) in my PB, but Calibre could not transfer them to the reader. Is there any way to do that? I didn't try it, but I suppose I could try (e.g. with Google docs) to convert the html to PDF and then try sending that to the reader, but that would be too much trouble. By then I could have read the thing on my computer.
