Fetch News and recipes
- How to Get Free Magazines on Your Kindle with Calibre 2/19/2018.
- The news can be scheduled to download once per day (e.g. 6AM).
- The advantage is you can read articles offline once the news has been automatically sent to Kindle. Also you can search the definition or the translation of any word in articles. The disadvantage is you can't download the latest minutes news after the scheduled time.
- Because of this feature Calibre can replace the Reabble service. The free plan can only download 7 news per day.
- The fetched files (mobi) are located under /home/$USERNAME/Calibre Library/calibre/.
- http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news.html
- https://michaeltalbotuk.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/how-to-use-calibre-to-read-newspapers-magazines-for-free/
- To customize a builtin recipe: Add custom news source -> Customize builtin recipe.
Some RSS feeds
- Top Chinese News RSS Feeds
- https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-10-rss-feeds-medical-news-alerts/
- https://udn.com/rssfeed/lists/2 聯合新聞網udn/新聞RSS, https://health.udn.com/rss/lists/1005/5681?ch=news 元氣網, https://health.udn.com/rss/news/1005/5681/6008?ch=health 元氣網/健康知識
- 自由電子報 (38MB so better selectively eg 國際 副刊) , Readers Digest (38MB), USA Today (6MB), Associated Press (8MB), National Geography (11MB), Newsweek (5MB, include a cover), Smithsonian Magazine (16MB) , TIME Magazine (username/password is required), xkcd (2MB), BBC News (4MB), Popular Science (1.6MB), The Washington Post (8MB), ScienceDaily (1.2MB)
- 華人健康網 https://www.top1health.com/RSS
Builtin feeds that do not work
- US and World Report news
- Wired Magazine (monthly ed)
- Discover Magazine
The recipes files (*.recipe) and the <index.json> file are saved in $HOME/.config/calibre/custom_recipes. They can be loaded through 'Add custom news source' dialog.
Tips
- Calibre will show the file size for each title/recipe. If the title is too large, send to kindle may not work (>40MB not work but 27MB works)
- Each recipe has two parameters: oldest article (how many days) and max # of articles per feed (default is 100). Since all recipes are scheduled to download every day, I can set 1 day for the oldest article.
A commercial service Keendly does it for a fee.
Remove a schedule download
Check the checkbox 'Schedule for download' at the top of source.
