Without complete success I have tried this:

Here's their full text rss conversion of the New York Times magazine:

If you navigate to the link above, you will see that continuations are not included for the longer articles. Maybe this could be fixed up with the AvantGo link depth setting, but, on my device, I think it would just make a mess of it.

There are other RSS feeds where http://labs.echoditto.com/fulltextrss does a great job. You will sometimes find New York Times magazine articles, in full, with continuations, here via RealClearPolitics.com:

The above link works beautifully for me on my Windows 2000 PC, but is terrible on my Palm Z22 due to loss of word wrap in AvantGo. I can correct this by copying entire articles, one by one, into the built-in Palm Memos application, or into another text editor with good word wrap. But if anyone has an easier idea, I would love to learn it.
