Problem with News Feeds
I have Calibre installed, and am downloading Chicago Breaking News, Chicago Tribune, Onion, CNN, USA Today and New York Times. I was able to download the news, batch convert and put it on my kindle. Here is my problem - how do I find the time to read all this? Walking the dog and bathing are definately out.

You could probably hire somebody to walk your dog, and as for bathing, I'd say nothing like reading in a hot bath.

Or you could teach your dog to read and have him/her give you an executive summary.

Actually, I did wait for it to be supported in ADE, since before that there wasn't much point. Just as would be the case with dogs, I can just imagine all the angry dog mail I would get from disappointed dogs about how I got their hopes up all to be dashed by the lack of a dog reader.

I think she is already trying to post on mobileread. She keeps putting her paw on the computer! So obviously she can read. Since they have a problem with opposable thumbs. maybe a different keyboard.
