Is there a pattern here? Is anyone in the US able to get subscriptions on the Touch?

By the way, I have found that when I sign out of the Desktop App, and then sign back in, it updates everything, books and Newspapers/Magazines. It appears to be downloading the newspapers/magazines to my desktop. However, after that when I sync via USB and the Desktop App (click on sync in the upper right), when it updates the Touch, only books are updated. If I disconnect and try via Wifi, it only updates my "awards, reading life etc." No newspapers/magazines are seen on the Touch. This occurs even after a factory reset of the Touch.

I was told by customer support to expect to hear from Tier 2 support today. I will report back if they are able to make this work.

So I ask again, is anyone in the US able to successfully transfer newspapers/magazines to the Touch?
