Calibre has it's own thing where you can turn any RSS feed into a periodical for your e-reader; however, now that Amazon charges $0.15 + $0.15 per MB over 1 MB for wireless emails this may no longer be a desirable alternative to wirelessly deliver of blogs via Calibre. (Blogs delivered by Amazon are not subject to that charge.)

Sirbruce, can you help me understand this? I don't use calibre to deliver blogs, but I thought you would either deliver the blog by a USB connection, or by a web connection -- doesn't Calibre have the capability to allow you to set up a personal web server somehow???? Does Feedbooks.com provide another alternative for reading blogs?
Anyway, on all of these alternatives I thought the message delivery was via the web, and I thought the new charges were for emails only. If so, then I would think these were still free. Comments?
I really don't know on this since I don't read blogs or use feedbooks.com. I'm just trying to educate myself and clear up my confusion.
