I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU, I don't know (I don't tried that) what happens if you remove the official .recipe files, but you can wait any unexpected performance of Calibre. I suggest you to use the default list for your self-made recipes and personaliced ones



that list is shown under your tag "personalized" (sorry, I don't know the exact english name) in the screen for downloading news



Sorry for the bad explanations, my english level is so low.

Exactly, in fact I believe the basic mode is

Spoiler:
a poor GUI of the full-powered advanced mode (shhh don't say it too loud, hear that can disgust the Calibre developers ) Seriously, the basic mode is a (basic) tool to add feeds you like, but don't show the real-power reached in advanced mode.

Pros - Groups news in a single-recipe
Cons - Is really hard to wait until the creation of the ebook

I suggest you group temathic feeds (computers, cellulars, etc) for not overload the process of creating a ebook, and for not carry a text (in fact, time lost waiting the creation) that you don't read. I.E. I have a not-published-yet spanish recipe with blogs from one publisher. Good, it has around 50 feeds, but they takes various themes (from living the night until the attentions to a baby, dispar themes), I'll publish the entire recipe, but I have personalized recipes with the feeds grouped by themes I like.
