I've been a lurker here for some time.

Congratulations to Kovid on Calibre. It's a great program.

Here are my observations when installing it on my
HP/Compaq Tablet
Windows XP / Tablet PC Edition 2005
Version 2002 / SP2
Pentium 1.86 GHz

1) Fetch News > Add a Custom News Source

Kept crashing until I changed Calibre to Windows 95 Compatibility mode.

2) Fetch News > Add a Custom News Source

When using the Simple (not advanced) mode, the "feeds =" row would display a null character instead of the correct feed name. The feed would be added correctly if I manually added the feed in Advanced mode instead of the simple mode.

3) Also, it would be nice if I could click a single button and say "get all my feeds now" rather than selecting them individually. Maybe use multiple select from a drop down or checkmarks in a drop down or otherwise create a list.

That's all. Great job, Kovid
