iNewsStand (feedbooks) not so brilliant after all

Unfortunately my iNewsstand only worked for downloading custom newspapers and feeds direct to my Iliad for a few weeks. It then suddenly started asking for my login id and password, although it had never done this since the first access. Entering my feedbooks login id and password didn't work. Tried the login id and password on the feedbooks site from my PC and it worked fine. Another Iliad user has confirmed that this is happening on his Iliad also, so it seems something on the web site has been changed, making direct access to the newspapers impossible. I can still access the books through iNewsStand just fine as this doesn't require a login. I have attempted to contact feedbooks hoping that they could fix this, but have received no reply to my e-mails. So now I am back to downloading to my PC and transferring from there to my Iliad which is rather tedious and no better than the Mobipocket option.
