Right now there is a place for both. I wish that there were inexpensive 8" to 11" e-ink devices though, with fast PDF support. Nope.

I've got several blogs and news sources I'm reading. What I can't quite figure out is a practical way to erase the old posts from the Kindle. I know that when I'm setting them up in Calibre, I set it to delete posts older than 5 days, but I still have the old posts on my device. Is there any way to have Calibre automatically delete the old ones?<br><br>Great post. Thanks. I'm doing this, and it's really great. I've got several blogs and news sources I'm reading.
