You can download them here. Still no easy way to download directly to the Iliad, of course. But it is another option.

Lovely stuff now I've tried it! You're right, it is nicely formatted for the Iliad.

In fact, as I use Mac OS X, I've created an Automator plugin that downloads several sections automatically, and have that run at a fixed time each day using a recuring event in iCal. Doesn't get them onto My Iliad automatically, but at least I don't have to remeber to download the latest issue to my desktop.

OS X is even clever enough to append "-1" etc onto the file name if it finds an existing copy in the same folder when it downloads the latest, so if I forget to transfer one to my Iliad, it's not lost.

Can't do the same for the Telegraph unfortunately, because they change the file name each day , so I can't give Automator a fixed URL.
