Any tips on how to best get parts of the Mobileread site into iSilo?

I tried https://www.mobileread.com/feeds/23_rss20.xml and
https://www.mobileread.com/feeds/34_rss20.xml

and while I can get the pages several odd things happen:

1) Instead of the main page showing up with headlines and stories (as it does in a browser), the first page is a bunch of one line links.

2) Click on any link and one goes to a page that has the text but it's way down on the page, 7, 9, 11 taps down.

3) Even though I've tried setting Rigid (don't allow paging) or Hard (no scrolling across boundaries), scrolling goes right through a page onto the next one.

Ironically, mobileread is now just about the only site I can't get working mobilely with a Palm!

Is there some PDA friendly version of the site? Some link or address? Appreciate any help.
