I've been struggling to get the MobileRead site to show up well in iSilo (see January thread in iSilo forum).

I tried https://www.mobileread.com/feeds/23_rss20.xml and
https://www.mobileread.com/feeds/34_rss20.xml

and while I can get the pages, the result isn't particularly user friendly!

When I click on an article link on the opening page, it goes to a page that has the article's text but it's way down on the page, 7-11 taps down. (And you know how spoiled we get in the PDA world--we want instant tap gratification!@)

Ironically, mobileread is now just about the only site I can't get working mobilely with a Palm!

(I tried enabling tables in iSilo which reduces the number of taps but then the text is partly off the screen, requiring scrolls left and right!)

It could be that I still haven't figured out the right settings in iSilo, although I have tried several different settings.

Maybe this is simply a limit in how the RSS feed is set up. Is there a more PDA friendly version of the site? A link or different address? Appreciate any help.
