Can't delete pushed news feeds from my kindle?

FatCat0 · 12-18-2011, 12:59 PM

I just got a kindle touch and set up Calibre. I have Calibre set to auto-send 3 news feeds to my kindle, which it does just fine. My problem is that when I'm done reading the news I can't delete it. I normally delete documents by tapping and holding them until a menu screen pops up that has a delete option, but when I try and do this with the news it never shows. Coupled with the fact that the articles aren't dated, I now have 3 documents named Popular Science that are indistinguishable and undeletable =( Help?

This is a "feature" Amazon introduced in the newest generation of Kindles. There isn't any way to control it from calibre, but there may be some way to do it on the Kindle itself, you should ask in the Kindle forum here.

Wait, so is it just news feeds or any documents that I have Calibre email to my kindle that I won't be able to delete on-device?

Same problem here on kindle touch: cannot delete ReadBeam pushed content from device: I searched but cannot find anything about it!

Futher On "kindle home" is showed "Title" (eg. slashdot) and "Source/Author" (eg. ReadBeam). According to me It would be better displaying issue date "slashdot 12/26/2011"
