thx!
If your using the recipes in Calibre to grab your news then it is Calibre that is using its recipe to download, parse, and create the mobi file. All the kindle is doing is reading the created mobi book.

Unfortunately I have not tried to place a logo, but I do think you can place a cover on the book using

Code:
cover_url = u'http://www.forbes.com/media/current_covers/forbes_120_160.gif'

or maybe

get_cover_url(u'http://www.forbes.com/media/current_covers/forbes_120_160.gif')
You can check the manual starting here, then here, and here to test your recipe without d/ling the entire feed.

Good Luck
