Currently, unless profile is set to Kindle and output format to mobi, one gets a navbar ( Next | Section menu | Main Menu | Previous |) and "This article was downloaded by calibre from LINK" when downloading news through recipes in each article.
I do not understand the logic behind this.
1) Why is this set through profile? I*own both a Kindle (old Paperwhite) and a Pocket book (Inkpad 741 Color) and I do not see why Kindle does not need them and Pocketbook does. Pocketbook knows how to use a TOC, Kindle knows how to follow the links in the navbar. What is the difference?
2) Why output format has anything to do with that is also a mystery to me.
3) I love Calibre, but puting its name to every article downloaded feels more like spam than anything else. (I know, I could edit the source code, but that is nor really the point).
4) I can see that it can be a matter of preference - some people prefer navbars, some people, like me, just find them super annoying. I*do not mind them being on by default. However, why is avoiding them governed by such an obscure mechanism?
5) A further problem with this is that this setting is not atomic. I like the title of the downloaded news to have date in it. Output profile set to mobi causes that to not happen. So I can either have no navbars or date in the title, but not both.
6) Another mystery to me is if the output profile changes anything else. It feels weird and counter-intuitive to set it to kindle even though I*use Pocketbook.
This seems to be coming up now and then:
