This morning I woke up my Kindle and went to the Periodicals collection. I left wireless off overnight. The first thing that I noticed is that the Thursday, 9/30 issue of Washington Post Cartoons was already gone. Since I had accidentally deleted the Fri, 10/1 issue sometime last weekend before starting this test, this left the Sat, 10/2 issue as the oldest issue. It was not flagged with an exclamation point.

After turning wireless on, yesterday's issues were pushed into Periodicals. When yesterday's issue of WPC was pushed into Periodicals, the Sat, 10/2 issue was flagged with an exclamation point.

I now have seven straight issues of WPC in Periodicals (Sat, 10/2 through Fri, 10/8) and today's issue on the home page. For the rest of my periodicals I have five straight issues, Mon, 10/4 through Fri, 10/8 in Periodicals and today's issue on the home page.

It now looks like automatic housekeeping in Periodicals might also occur independently of when new issues are being downloaded.
