Here's a possible approach you could take:

1. Download and install Calibre (which is free) on your desktop PC or laptop.

2. Read the Help about how to set up a "custom news source". Create such a news source for the NY Post. Fix it so that the output is saved as a Mobi file.

3. Schedule a download of the news source for, say, 6 am every day (you do that within Calibre).

4. Each morning, just before you put the water on to boil for your coffee, boot up the PC or open up the laptop. The scheduled download will fire, and the paper will arrive while the coffee is perking (it should take about two or three minutes).

5. Connect your Kindle to the computer with the USB cable. Copy the Mobi file to the Kindle.

6. Read the paper while drinking the coffee, or while waiting for your bus.

The only difficult part of the process is step 2. I managed to do it for my own daily paper, but it took a lot of trial and error. But it was definitely worth the trouble. Reading the paper electronically is so much easier, cleaner and cheaper than the old way, plus it reduces clutter in the house and cuts down on the trips to the recyling bin.
