Questions:
1) Does downloading a new CNET "book" delete previous books? In other words, is the calibre option "Keep at most N issues" set to 1?
Mike-> Yes
2) What is the title of the CNET book? Not the file name, but the title shown in calibre and in CC?
Mike-> CNET News
Reason for asking: if keep at most is set to 1 and if the titles of the news books are the "same" then device book matching will connect the one of the previous news books still on the device with the new one downloaded by calibre. Such a match would cause all the problems we are seeing, including the modification of the calibre date you reported. I quoted "same" because the titles don't need to be identical. It is sufficient that the characters in the title are the same, ignoring white space and special characters.
For the above to be true you would have had either to customize the recipe changing the time format or have selected a Kindle device when you ran the calibre welcome wizard (whenever that is). You can see what device you have chosen by going to your calibre configuration folder, going into the "coversions" folder, and opening the file "page_setup.py" in a text editor.
Mike-> I have no such file on my laptop... However, if asked to pick a device when I first configured Calibre, it would have been a Kindle Keyboard. However now, I also have a Nexus tablet, and use only the tablet with CC.
If "output_profile" contains the word "kindle" then I think we know what is happening. The fix would be to pick any other device other than kindle, but that would make news no longer be a periodical on a kindle.
