The problem with using Calibre is that it is RSS based, so if you download the paper every day, you'll end up downloading many articles that you've already seen the day before, or even earlier. It isn't a true representation of the day's paper.
Compiling the whole book from all the RSS links also takes a while, whereas downloading a precompiled ePub (that would be compiled at 5AM of each day) would take seconds.
I don't know why WSJ/NYT/etc can't just compile and release such an ePub file for subscribers. They're all losing subscribers hand over fist, yet don't seem very serious about venturing into other delivery media. And why would they limit this to a certain PRS model, when they all have the same DRM capabilities? They all just seem shortsighted and simpleminded.
