I'd tried to find it through Google, but have failed and so I assume they went out of business, but there used to be a service that could load newspapers on your Palm or Pocket PC device. It had a weird name, something vaguely akin to Alta Vista (I know that's an old search engine), but it's driving me crazy since I can't remember what the place was called. They had desktop software and software that had to be loaded on your Palm device. If anyone knows what the place is called, it's just annoying the heck out of me because it's on the tip of my tongue and I can't seem to remember what it is. I was mostly curious to find out if they'd ever updated to allow reading on e readers, but like I said, can't find it now.

Thanks for any info.
