Huge shout-out to Kovid Goyal’s Calibre! I’ve been expanding my use of Calibre for months and finally decided to try out the “Fetch News” functionality this past week. I was floored! I have over 50 news sources that auto-fetch every day. It took me awhile to refine the sources that work, but now I can read all my news natively in Calibre.
I’ve been working on debugging why some of the news sources fail to fetch to learn more about Calibre and to design my own fetching for custom news sources. But, I’m a programming newb so that will take me awhile
On a related note, another Calibre feature that has helped me organize my life is “Virtual Libraries”. I was finally able to separate my library into 3 categories that enable me to stay focused. For me these were:
- Hobby Reading
- News & Magazines
- Study and Resources It takes almost no time at all to set up this functionality.
Thank you Kovid and everyone who contributes to this amazing OS project!
Oh yeah, and Kovid posts a tracker for most used news sources so you can see what works and what other people are enjoying. https://calibre-ebook.com/dynamic/recipe-usage
