Avantgo to Cybook
I am looking for a way to transfer the onlinenewspaper I pay for to my Cybook.
The newspaper is available as a webedition that is crowded with javascript (and cannot be navigated without) and I don't think there is a way to get that into plain html, but they offer an avantgo-solution for mobile devices. Is there a way to convert avangto-channels to plain html so I can read them on my Cybook? |

Have you tried the eNews store in Mobipocket reader on the PC.
It has the option to point it to a number of sites and generate a .mobi book which it can then sync with the Gen 3. Its pretty easy and free to use, so is well worth a try |

My problem is that it only allows to use feeds, my account needs a login and the mobisoftware doesn't support that.
I have read the thread about using rim.avantgo.com to browse avantgo-channels using a normal browser or even creating iSilo-books with it - if I found a solution like that to create mobifiles it would be great! |

Unfortunately, not having ever used avantgo or the iSilo format I cant really suggest a workaround .
However there are many much more technical minded people here so they may be able suggest a solution. Can I ask you which specific paid newspapers you are trying to download. It may make it easier for someone to suggest a workaround if they know the site as they may have done it themselves in the past. |

The newspaper is an austrian newspaper called "DerStandard" which is available in 3 digital formats on www.derstandarddigital.at (including demos).
I'm really hoping someone comes up with an idea because being used to the Cybook-display makes reading on a Treo a pain |

Thanks! If I get the avantgo-rimportal-isilox-html-cybook way working it would be a start

I just figured that getting the text out of avantgo would be the most important step. Still I can't really test the feasibility or practility of any of the methods as i never used avantgo. Everytime I thought about trying I found another tool which fitted my needs better. |

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9 (in my work) to transform any HTML page (external link) for a single pdf file (with several pages).
Equal to Isilo Acrobat choose the level of depth (outside link-level 1,2,3 ...). Very good. |

Thank you for that tip, i was trying different spiders already, but gave up because they all lacked the needed flexibility!
I will definitely give that one a try! |
