The PB 903 is great regarding connectivity. So, my idea was to download the
FAZ as a PDF files to my PB903. However, the problem is that FAZ offers
the whole daily release as a ZIP archive named like 20110103FAZ2242.zip (It is okay that FAZ offers the newspaper as a compressed file to minimize the download time).
I downloaded that file with my PB 903 directly into the main memory of my device
and not onto the SD card).. The file was detected as a PDF.
I was suprised that that the right content of the ZIP archive was detected.
However, by clicking on the file I got the message that
the book could not be openend because it is damaged or protected.
I copied the ZIP archive to my Linux PC and extraced the archive via unzip and copied the
returned PDF file onto my PB 903. Now I was able to read the PDF file.
So. my question is if there is an unzip functionality somewhere hidden on the PB903 which is able to extract the ZIP archives ? I would like to perform the unzip
on the PB903 rather than using an extra PC.
Kind regards

Sure it is. Just give me a moment, I'll write and send you an app which will do this for you.
Edit:
attached app. This is a simple shell script. Since I guess the filename of your subscription might change and in order to be more generally usefull it looks for all zip files in the topmost level of the internal memory which is visible to the user (and the default location for downloads). Then it moves this file to a new folder which is simply called zip. There the zip file will be extracted.
How to install:
1) download and unzip this file on your computer.
2) transfer the file called unzip.app to your reader.
3) in the menu applications you will find the programm called unzip
