I did some looking around here in mobileread and web, but couldnt find this info. I think I know (theoretically, that is) how to automate retrieving news and sending it to my kindle (of course with the 15c/MB fee from amazon) using Calibre. The problem I have is that it requires my computer to be on (which means I have to either switch it on, or schedule it to come up at certain time every day). It is not too bad, but a nuisance nonetheless.

I am sure there are other people who wants to do (or are already doing) this. I am wondering if there is a server somewhere where I can register and subscribe to some of those news feeds and it will automatically generate and send out the feeds to my kindle at a specified time? That way I dont have to keep my computer running all the time. A server like that can service 100s or thousands of users easily. If it doesnt exist, I am thinking of creating one for anyone to use (no ETA at this point). Do you think it will violate somebody's copyrights?
