I'm new to Calibre (and to book readers - just received my Kindle 3 last week). So far I've configured Calibre (what a great tool!) to download some RSS feeds and automatically email them to my free.kindle.com account.

Now I would appreciate some advice on what is and is not possible.

Google Reader on my laptop shows me which posts I've already read in each subscribed feed. I would like to duplicate that experience on the Kindle, by only sending to it when there are new posts, and then only sending the new content.

I've read through the Calibre manual and looked at a few recipes, but this doesn't look like how any of them work. Rather, they go back only a certain length of time and they limit the number of posts. The result is a lot of duplication on material arriving on the Kindle.

I looked briefly at RSS filters to preprocess feeds, but none of these appears to do what I want either. Of course, a filter would need to remember what had last been sent.

So my question is, can this be done? Is anyone doing it? Also, standard Calibre functionality appears to support a maximum automatic download frequency of once a day. Do I need to run multiple copies of Calibre (on different machines) to increase this? Or can I run Calibre from a batch file and still get the 'retrieve - convert - email' pipeline?

Thanks,

Chris
