I've been busy the last several days writing a tool for the iLiad that consumes an RSS file from a site like the NY Times and then grabs and re-writes the linked HTML to work locally on the iLiad. I got the code working this morning to process NYT "Page M of N" links without picking up all the other stuff like advertising and unrelated pages. CNET's links are next.

I can easily convert the tool to output BBeB using the code I wrote to crunch HTML to re-flowable BBeB. I've been using it to process Fictionwise and Baen ebooks for my Librie for 18 months so its very stable at this point. You can expect to see this tool a few days after Sony gets me my Reader. I'm pretty steamed with Sony right now, take my money (including the outrageous $112 expedite fee), don't send me my reader. That kind of thing isn't conducive to my writing process.
