@ BOb
I am aware of that tactic and I's annoying me. That's why I was really excited when I noticed that Mobipocket fetches full articles, even if the feed is abbreviated. I mostly read news from state-run news stations. There isn't even advertising on those pages and I pay for their financing anyway - everyone owning a TV or Radio here in Germany has to pay the "GEZ"-fee for public radio/tv. It's about 17 € a month. So I don't see why I should read their articles online and not take them with me on my eBook reader.
So I know it's possible and I'd like to see it on Mac.
Don't know why this isn't a bigger issue with people. The difference is
dramatic - news snipets vs. full articles!
@ Kovid
When are you planning to extend the list of supported formats? If the script is already there it can't be that difficult to implement into the GUI, right?
I decided to support your work. I think I saw a donation button somewhere on that page...
Cheers,
