However, no such moving or deletion takes place. All of the old issues since
mid january still clog up my kindle [...]
OK let me have another go at answering this.

If you change the calibre generated metadata title of your newpaper to be the same every day then on the second day "Back issues(2)" will appear next to Archive in your Home listing and, hopefully, when Back issues reach 7 the next new issue will trigger automatic deletion as described in the Kindle User Guide.

has just switched to the "same title every day" mode and Back Issues() automagically appeared.

The old issues from before this change had to be deleted by hand since the Kindle software thinks each was a single issue for a different newspaper.
