Sure - I hope this helps! In-line:
"1. Aggregate the different RSS feeds into your own personal google reader.
Yes.
"2. Pull in Google Reader content into Calibre. (How? Is there a function in Calibre?)
Yes, there is! This is the neat part. It's in Calibre's News section. Google Reader can be a news source just like anything else. It's already set up as an option; just search for a source called Google Reader (or maybe just reader). There are two options, one for all feeds and one for, um, I forget what. I've been using the "all" option.
"3. Since you setup a calibre library on dropbox, you have the file created on dropbox.
Yes.
"4. Dropbox search your files? Why not use Calibre's built in websever to find the file that you created on your computer?
Oh, I'm not using it for search - just to get stuff onto the web so that I can easily download it without having to physically attach the T1 to my computer. I actually hadn't realized Calibre had a webserver (oops!).
"(as Kolenka can attest, I am having problem with periodicals, like NY times, being downloaded to my T1 via the new calibre driver that Kolenka is working on. So maybe RSS dump everyday is the way to go?!?)
I had trouble with the new driver too. For me, loading stuff onto the T1 via Dropbox meant I could skip Calibre sync and just download from Dropbox's mobile website via wifi instead. Of course, that wouldn't work for a lot of books at once, but for a once-a-day RSS feed dump it's not bad.
