Thanks for the reply. I see you have a vested interest in the Google Reader recipes.
I'm assuming that it will not actually grab the entire article and do nice formatting, since there could potentially be lots of varied feeds in Google Reader, and a recipe can only handle one set of formatting rules?
What would you recommend in my situation? Is it better to move to a daily scheduled download for each feed, and just use the 'archived' section in my Kindle if I want to catch up on the previous week?
Out of interest, I don't suppose there is a way for Calibre to 'collect' feeds, say, day by day, and only compile them into a periodical and email it every X days?
