When Kindle first came out my kids were just starting to get into reading more, so I wrote a perl script to poll various RSS feed that emailed their own personalized "newsletter" to the Kindle for each of them. It was a fun project, but I don't think they paid it much attention. Eventually the feeds I was using all went defunct or threw so many errors I abandoned it.

I’m sure it was fun working on that project. Parsing web content and packaging into epub is so much fun.

But handling Amazon bugs is not :(
