E-mailing periodicals is problematic
Amazon steps on any EXTH[501] value in a document being emailed to a Kindle and replaces it with "PDOC". Therefore, you'll only get the newsreader/newsstand treatment if you copy the files to the Fire manually.

Amazon has rendered the calibre email delivery option useless (unless you are willing to put up with navigating your periodicals as an ebook). I can't think of any way of fixing this short of developing an app that modifies the files after they are delivered, and even that would involve manually invoking the app for each periodical file.

I'm pretty sure Amazon won't be sympathetic since it doesn't affect Amazon content, so I'm not going to bother complaining in their forums (they typically ignore complaints that involve non-Amazon content).
