This sets how many days to go back in the feed. Then there is always the possibility that the feed limits you to 120.

I had one feed that stopped at 10 no matter what things were set to. But in Google reader I was able to go further back. I solved that problem by using the Google reader recipe. Initially it still only allowed 10 but as they came in I was no longer limited.



Not having a Kindle I don't know what the "traditional Amazon Newspaper format" is except to suggest it was an industry way of dealing with feeds. What exactly does the traditional Amazon Newspaper format look like?

For that matter what does "a list" look like? If you mean that some feeds don't have a summary after each headline, again that is controlled by the site itself.

I hope my rambling at least let you know your not alone in trying to figure all of this out.
Well the feed I am using has no dates or anything, its just a incredibly simple rss feed. The most basic form of RSS 2.0. I have both options set to 999 and still am locked into 120 articles. I wounder if anybody can confirm greater then 120 articles?

As for the different types of layouts, this is the list option



and this is the kindle catagory layout


I have no other experience with ereaders like yourself, so I don't know what's the standard. I just want to know what form does the input need to take, to make the output look like the second picture.
