Hello everyone,

I'm new to Calibre and freda and hope that someone here can help me.

I'm able to successfully see, download and read books from my Calibre library on my WP7.5 device (Nokia Lumia 800), but when I try to do the same with newspapers (e.g. The Economist, The Daily Mirror, Sydney Morning Herald) I can see the newspapers, but after selecting a newspaper freda always crashes when I press either the "Download" or "Open" button. Upon crashing I am dumped back to the WP Apps menu.

I have no problem opening and reading the same newspaers using Calibre's built-in reader. I can also successfully see, download and read the same newspapers using ABookReader.

Has anyone else come across this problem and is there a solution?

(I'm running Calibre 0.8.40 on Windows 7 and freda 2.5 on my Nokia Lumia 800.)
