It maybe depends on the "recipe", which makes calibre download and compose a news-edition.

The clickable "View Sections & Articles" you find in Calibre newspapers formatted for the Kindle will display, in two columns, just what it says: Sections in the left column and Articles in the right column.
Today's New York Times, left column (Sections):
The Front Page
International
National
Obituaries
Editorials
... etc.
next
Right column of Articles when, for example, "The Front Page" is highlighted:
Fed Lowers Its Forecast for Growth, but Takes no Steps
Cain Says Perry is Orchestrating a Smear Campaign
Experts Say N.Y. Police Dept. Isn't Policing Itself
Japan Revives a Sea Barrier That Failed to Hold
Purging Cells in Mice is Found to Combat Again Ills
prev | next
See nothing interesting in those articles? No need to click down to "next", as the Page Turn button does the same action. If at the end of the articles of that Section, the next press of the Page Turn button moves to the next Section and its set of Articles.
Of course, you can go directly to a particular Section or Article by moving down the column(s) and clicking on your selection (several clicks for the Kindle Keyboard, I assume Kindle Touch will be a direct tap?). Done reading that article? Back button gets you back to the super-index.
In use, your first click after the document opens activates "View Sections & Articles" (thank you Calibre). Then a bunch of page turn button presses to scan all the articles. As easy as it gets to quickly skim/read the newspaper.
I didn't see anything like that on my PRS-350, but I've only had the 350 for a week, and quickly gave up on using it for Calibre newspapers when I didn't see this feature, so please let me know if I missed it.
