Lightbulb eNews Content Available on Kindle

A secondary source for news on the Kindle are eNews files from MobiPocket Reader.

There is a slight trick to getting them onto the Kindle (since MobiPocket Reader 6.1 no longer "sees" the Kindle) , but it's easy enough. Attach a USB flash drive (or anything along those lines, really... sd card, etc) and then send the files to the drive. From there, drag and drop to the Kindle wherever appropriate.

As to content that is actually usable - that's another story. I've been testing various eNews feeds and thought compiling a list of working and complete feeds would be worthwhile, so feel free to add any you find. So we need feeds that actually produce usable content and full content. Not partial articles or leadins that point you to the main article. I'll try to keep this updated accordingly.

To use MobiPocket with the Kindle best - use version 6.0
