Right now I use calibre to convert my books to lrf. thats about it.

once I make the conversion I delete everything from calibre.

I would like to make a greater usage of calibre though as it is a very nicely done program. I am hoping it can do these things and I am just brain dead and don't see it :-)

First news feeds. They are annoying. Is there a way I can make thema SEPARATE list.

Calibre SEEMS to want to do what I want. I mean it has that EMPTY bar right below the button bar with one icon that says Library XX books

is there a way to make MORE so I can have news feed stuff in its OWN library separate from my books? I tried everything and can not figure out how to add more entries their.

Second can I arrange it so if it downloads a news feed it DELETES the old one? Right now I "move" them to the memory stick but the ENTRIES remain in calibre. so I have to whack them each time or pretty soon it has hundreds of redundant entries.

would love to make my MEMORY card the "store" location for news feeds (only for news feeds) to skip all these steps and have it DELETE the old entries and copy over the new entries (especially since invariably the new entry will have almost all the old entry stuff.

something to make it more automatic. ?? am I missing an obvious setting somewhere?

what about MERGING the entire set of news feeds into a SINGLE file that I choose the name of. (this way I can name it 00 - News so its FIRST on the sony reader and only takes up one line. Then I won't have to keep swapping memory cards to organize them.

the first "menu" when you open it could be a list of the feeds that link to them (like it currently does with articles)

Keep up the great work!
