In order for Calibre to send your news feeds to your Kindle wirelessly, all of the following things need to be done:

1. In Calibre you need to set up your Kindle e-mail address. Open Preferences and select "Sharing books by email". Add "[your e-mail address]@free.kindle.com". For "Send e-mail from" use your Gmail e-mail address then click the "Use Gmail" button. If you don't have a Gmail account just create one and use that, it's the easiest way. Make sure that "MOBI" is added to the "Formats" column and "Auto-send" is checked.

2. In Calibre under "Fetch news/Schedule news feed" make sure that all of your news feeds have the "Schedule for download checked" and that the specific day(s) and time you want them downloaded is specified. You have to do this for each one.

3. In Calibre under "Preferences/Behavior" make sure that "Automatically send downloaded news to ebook reader" is checked.

4. On the Amazon website, under "Manage Your Kindle", add your Gmail address to "Your Kindle Approved E-mail List".

5. On your Kindle, make sure that you have Wi-Fi set up and that it works. You need to have wireless turned on at the time that the download is scheduled or turn it on when you want to have it downloaded to your Kindle. Note that if you don't have a Wi-Fi network then the only way to have the news feeds downloaded wirelessly is to use 3G (if you have that model). This will cost you $0.15/MB.

If you've done these steps correctly your news downloads should get sent to your Kindle wirelessly.
