Hi all -- I've been lurking for awhile, but this is my first post.

I'd like to ask for the forum's help with an annoying problem. I've had my K3 3G for about 6 weeks now (love it). I've been subscribing to one newspaper (the Christian Science Monitor) for the whole 6 weeks.

The problem is that the newspapers never vanish from my Kindle. Each morning, I get the new issue and the old one is moved automatically to "Periodicals: Back Issues". My understanding is that, after 7 days, the old papers should vanish. But instead, on the 8th day, they are moved to my Archived Items, where they stay forever. I now have quite a large pile of old newspapers cluttering up my Archive.

I tried doing a full reset, but my Kindle just downloaded all the archived papers again afterward. Tried removing them from "Manage my Kindle" on Amazon's web site -- no luck, unless I unsubscribe. I called Kindle Support and they seemed mystified.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome.
