Kovid,
Thank you for all your efforts!
Using version 4.46 I find the fonts very satisfactory in Fetch news. Some probably think them a bit large, but overall I am very pleased.

This morning I “fetched” The New York Times, The Jerusalem Post, Newsweek, NASA, The Atlantic, The Economist, Google Reader and NYR Book Review. Then I switched back and forth between them. Occasionally the Reader went into a reboot (as you say, unavoidable) and then continued normally.

Is this reboot a function of Sony’s memory? I suspect that it is as, for example, the NASA feed forced a reboot the first time I ran it but not the second. Switching to several of the other feeds a reboot was necessary at The Economist. Then returning to NASA there was no reboot. In other words it appears that the reboot occurs when the 505 says “full up.” – Just a guess. Would using a memory card help this? I currently have no memory card installed and libprs500 shows about 120 mb free.

Your program has made my 505 worth twice as much as I paid for it so I have made another small donation. I hope others are doing the same.

I almost bought the Amazon Kindle because of the magazine and newspaper feeds but considering they are extra cost on the Kindle and free with the Sony and libprs500 and getting several feeds that Amazon doesn’t offer is a big plus. Thanks, again.
