Help with News Feeds

grdfoge · 06-22-2017, 02:18 PM

Used to be, under News, there would be a long list of newspapers around the world in many languages. What happened to that? When I click on News now I only get three news sources I have long had scheduled for download to Caliber and emailing to my Kindle. The old button for Scheduled Downloads (or Newsfeeds)--don't remember which, and it's no longer there to check--has disappeared!

Worse still, there used to be a form that could be filled out for each newspaper which showed how often you wanted the feed and where you could fill in a username and password for news sources that required subscriptions. I can't figure out how to get to that form any more. Has it disappeared? I am still getting three of my downloads but one--the New York Times--is no longer working, and I suspect that is because I had to change my password. Now how do I put in the new password since that old, simple form is eluding me?

Many thanks for whatever help anyone is able to offer. Cheers, all--Dan

It's still there. Perhaps if you post a screen shot it might help. You can also try doing a clean re-install of calibre. Uninstall delete c:\Program Files\Calibre (or wherever you chose to install calibre) and re-install. Doing so will not affect your settings/books.
