Hi and thanks for your description! I'd be interested to implement certain changes in my ePubs from the German Weekly "Die Zeit" but I'm fairly inexperienced with ePub modifications (I haven't managed to implement fonts yet).
It would be great if you could supply step by step instructions on what to do in order to make my Newspaper show up in "Periodicals", maybe a file that only needs to be implemented would be helpful.

Edit: Ok I already managed to make it show up in Periodicals and on the reader by only modifying the metadata.xml...
Unfortunately while the TOC does display well on the Mac in the reader library software, it only shows TOPpage in the TOC on the PRS 900... Is a modification of the atom file needed (which is tedious to do by hand) or am I just missing something?

Edit2: As far as I have figured it out, the Sony software uses the regular TOC referenced to in container.xml but the reader itself wants the atom.xml which must be linked to and then of course properly set up in order to work which can hardly be done by hand for a newspaper with over a hundred articles. A possible trick is to use the atom.xml and link to a toc page that is already present in the document, e.g. on page 2 (must be xml or xhtml, the epub standard toc files won't work). This will then show one available link in the toc on the PRS900 that can be used to jump to the page with toc hyperlinks and continue from there... nothing like the Sony newspapers though...

Please keep me updated if anybody finds something new (like for example an app that could be used to convert a proper atom.xml that links to all the articles or sections in an epub newspaper together with first lines and proper dates and names embedded)
