Be selective, be very selective from the start if you know what is good for you.
Excellent advice. But I can't help adding to the overload.

Do you like magazines and newspapers? If so, you can start subscribing to them via Calibre ("Fetch news" button, go to your language of choice, click on a desired newspaper or magazine, and then "Download now" or "Schedule for download"). Once it's scheduled, it moves from being listed under the language to under "Scheduled".
- For selected day schedules (first tick box), if you open Calibre on that day, it will be automatically retrieved into Calibre. If you fail to open Calibre on that day, Calibre does nothing. Probably good for daily newspapers, but for weekly magazines, you would need to manually download if you still wanted a recent issue.

- For selected interval schedules (2nd tick box, like every 30 days), I think you can open Calibre after the interval (like on day 32) and Calibre will still download.
You can try this out by downloading some now and perusing them in Calibre ("View" button) to see if you want to subscribe.
