Content Change display of Rss feeds?

nickajeglin · 01-05-2012, 05:31 PM

I have calibre set up to send several news rss feeds to my Kindle touch every morning. The very first time that I received the .mobi file over wifi, there was a very cool display of the four rss feeds. I could either see them as tiles with lists that linked to each individual article, or a sort of graphical hierarchy, with the title of the rss feed on the left, and the list of articles on the right. I could switch back and forth between these two displays using two little icons on the top menu of my kindle. Two days later, and I can't seem to find those icons, the menu only shows the standard search, menu, back, and shop buttons.

I'm sorry to be so vague, but does anyone know how I can get my news rss's to display like that again? I'd be content if someone could just tell me if the confusion is happening on the calibre end, or on the kindle.

Here's my recipe, if that helps at all:

Ok, after a little more research, I've found that I somehow got the .mobi packaged rss feeds to be listed as periodicals on my kindle. It seems like there are problems doing this via the me@kindle.com address. Is this impossible?

If so, is there a way to send the .mobi as a periodical to my kindle directly via wifi? Or do I need to actually plug it in every night for this to be a possibility?
