It always ends up on just one of the two devices, and each time it is the one that is the first to be connected via Calibre Companion. As for the other tablet, I do have to do it manually, which certainly is a … huge … drag. And I am definitely sorry to exaggerate.
Yet I very much believe (considering Calibre’s vast array of in-built functions and plugins) that there must be a way of syncing my downloaded news automatically to the two devices, one after another. Or is there?
PS: To be a bit more precise, the sync of the news section is initiated by Calibre and Calibre Companion, without resorting to the Reading list plugin. That's is a nice feature. But how can it be extended to two or more devices? What am I missing?

IIRC
Fetch news (Calibre) was designed to get the news and deliver it to your device. Your Single device.
When I subscribed to the
Murkynews (nickname for regional paper), the paperboy threw my morning copy at the (street
) end of the walk. He did not put a second copy, at work (let alone
synched (opened to the same page I was reading while eating breakfast) on my desk
)
Since this is the CC forum
The flaw in your thinking is:
Calibre only allows 1 device to be connected at a time, so how would 2 CC devices be allowed to share a connection for the synch to work? (FWIW deliver News is a push from Calibre, so CC must connected wirelessly )
