So you have to zoom using the desktop client before exporting? Honestly, Calibre is much easier to work with . I still can't believe that NP files downloaded using the device's own NewspaperDirect store and wireless service aren't formatted correctly for the Irex.

My desktop client doesn't have an option to select NP vs. ePUB, but it does have device selection (and I have selected the Irex). The actual download never works using the desktop client (it shows a progress bar for formatting but downloads nothing). This is with the Mac client. If I use their web browser-based service on the computer and select the export to Irex option, it does at least download, albeit in ePUB format.

There's no device zoom on the NP files downloaded wirelessly to the Irex (could I be missing it-- I've tried every icon, single, double and tripped tapped pages?)

The Mac version of Press Reader has no file menu option to export a downloaded newspaper to the Irex (mentioned in the pressdisplay help). Now I need to boot up a PC, install Press Reader and authorize the PC as well so I can get that option?! Whooboy.

Goodness, it's giving me a headache! At the moment, removing DRM from an eBook and converting it to a few different formats seems like less work than getting a "pretty" version of a newspaper onto the Irex.
