Classic news feeds on Nook

jeroen · 01-09-2011, 04:46 PM

I love my Nook. Calibre is great, and I played around with Calibre opds this evening. But still:

What I'd like for my Nook to do, is go online early in the morning and fetch a couple of feeds of newspapers and blogs.

May be Calibre could take care of all the parsing and converting and syncing it to dropbox or other cloud-service?

The real awesome part would be to skip the need to physically hook up my Nook to my laptop.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
jeroen

+1. I'm sure that there are a thousand 500-page threads describing how to do so that everyone will yell at us to

, but it'd be nice to be given a neat write up or link to a post with concise directions on how to accomplish such a thing. Thanks in advance!

I've googled a lot already. It is totally possible to let Calibre get the news and then post that to my dropbox. But I still have to start up Calibre first, and then get the newly created catalog with a softrooted Nook.

I'm looking for a way to do this without human intervention. I know, there is a nice device called a laptop, but that beats the purpose of having it on my beloved Nook....
