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. |
I didn't know about the zoom option, Pauli is mentioning (far from intuitiv, IMHO). I just bought the newspaper of choice and exported to iRex 800. Result was absolutely fine. As I explicitly chose "export to iRex", my guess was it's pre-formatted specifically for iRex.
Here you see what I've got:

In Pic1 you see the tons of "+" and ">" I have.
In Pic2 you see the "zoom" symbol, which leads to Pic4.
In Pic3 you see the reflow.
I've only tested 2 newspapers though. Maybe I've got especially well prepared ones. But I didn't configure anything with these. Just exported to iRex.
