Kindle Fire: also missing "section/articles" in all news

There is a thread addressing this issue with the Touch. Just want to reiterate the problem here as regards Kindle Fire. I tried some of the experiments with changing the .mobi extension to .pobi (which had some success with the Touch), but it doesn't seem to work with the Fire.

Basically, all news/periodical files transferred from calibre to Fire, either via USB or Email, show up OK as .mobi files. But they are all rendered as Books, i.e. they have no navigational controls (e.g., sections/article lists, etc). Just as with a book, you can "Go To . . ." the Table of Contents and navigate to a single article, but would have to repeat that procedure for each article.

Will send request to Amazon to look into the issue. Suggest others might do the same. Or some maybe some genius can figure out a fix.

For now, Calibre's News function is rendered pretty useless with the Kindle Fire (or Touch)!
