I'm a plug'n'play kind of tech user. I don't know code and I don't speak tech-speak. For example, one of the reasons I had no idea which thread to post to is because reading the thread titles is the equivalent of reading a foreign language. Hopefully someone really patient will be able to help me out.

Here it goes:
I just got my first-ever Kindle 3 (not 3G). On a forum for Kindle users, someone shared how awesome Calibre is so I downloaded the program because I am wanting to get my blog feeds and newspapers sent to my Kindle automatically everyday (for free). (I am using Firefox as my browser and my OS is Windows Vista.)

I downloaded the program, I added my gmail account, I made sure that gmail address was an acceptable address in my Amazon account, I made sure that Calibre could work past my firewall (I use McAfee) and I made MOBI (whatever that means) my preference because I have a Kindle. (Hoping that's correct).

Then I went about choosing the newspapers I wanted to receive and I added my blog feed addresses. The newspapers downloaded without error. I'm not so sure about the blog feeds.

When I went to send the feeds to my @kindle.com address, I got the following error:

I do see that it mentions repeatedly an authentication error/login/password incorrect message. I'm sure I entered it in correctly. Not sure what my next step should be.

Thanks in advance.
