Hello everyone,
Thanks for your detailed answers.
Now I see the full picture. Amazon is abusing its monopoly power -- and, by the way, there's no reasonable/acceptable explanation of why they have retired the mobi format. Their automated messages kept saying that "MOBI is an older file format and does not support the latest Kindle features for documents" -- which is ridiculous, given that periodical formatting has just become unavailable.
Again, USB transferring periodicals on a daily basis IS a hardship. The computer doing the downloading, converting and sending of the periodicals is left alone (turns on and shuts down automatically, running Calibre in the background), so I only needed to connect the Kindle to wifi, and it with automated e-mail delivery, it was all there. You know, like I may be traveling without carrying a notebook -- or, even if I do carry one or just stay at home, thinking about this task is a pain in the ass.
