Hi keng2000,

I know that Calibre can get rss for offline reading. It is a good software and I intended to replace mobipocket desktop with Calibre. However, after trying Calibre, I found that

- it is quite slow in retrieving RSS feeds
- it consumes memory quite a lot. Most of the time, it dragged my notebook to be slow as crawl when retrieving just 10 feeds.(Pentium dual core 1.6ghz, 1.5GB memory)

So fttb I would stick to Mobipocket desktop until Calibre is getting better and better.

When you say "Dictionary Look up is supported by Coolreader, modified firmware from LBOOK. also Thai Firmware with Stardict", you are talking about running those software on Astak Pocket Pro? Could you please elaborate more?

Thanks
