well, on this one after playing around with the pocketbook news tonight I have to say I am not impressed. The main problems I see currently are:
1) it looks like it is not possible to change the name of the various feeds;
2) only a very limited subset of the feeds is downloaded - in spite of having put three of them for a try, only one newspaper feed (the first one) was downloaded. In fact, it was very poorly done, as there were only the titles, and no full corresponding news article. In addition, there was no table of contents.
3) I could not figure out how to input details for downloading from sites that require a subscription (e.g. i subscrive to the printed copy, and I am entitled to the vitual copy too - but I have to provide a password for that).
Of course, it may be me - but I am pretty sure that e.g. for the site which created my problem 2) above the feed address is correct, as it works perfectly in Calibre (where I get all the newspaper sections, all of the articles - not just the titles as in pocketbook - and a nice table of contents that I can easily navigate.
Just a thought, in case you are still working on it
