Done.
There's also a few redesign elements for the second part of the website.
And the most important: the "recommended" feature is now fully part of the section for public domain books.

Log in, download a few books, add some to your favorites and say hurray: http://www.feedbooks.com/discover/recommended

Cool! Thanks for adding the delete button in the News page.
I wonder if a simple search engine can be added for News, just like that for books.
Keep up the good work!

It'll be added in the future, and a browse feature.

Main problem with the news, is to know what exactly is relevant when you do such a search ? I guess that the title of the newspaper and the tag are the most relevant informations.

We'll also add a way to create a new newspaper based on an existing one. This way if you've found something relevant for you, but you'd like to add/remove something, it'll be quite easy.

I hope I am not asking too much here.

Perhaps a simple search function for the existing newspapers/news feeds available in Feedbooks would be very sweet, at least I can check to see if Feedbooks have the feeds I want before creating duplicates myself.

HELP with my CP command..?

Is this OK??

prs500 cp -f Z:\temp6\RSS\*.* "a:/Sony Reader/database/RSS-News/"

What's your batch file look like..?

Thanks,
F.

I don't know the correct command. All I know is that the output path is incorrect.

Well, if you enter the same URL it won't create a duplicate. Problem is most big websites have a few URLs for the same RSS feed. But don't worry, a search feature will be added this month with a bunch of other features for the news section.

This is surely a welcome feature. Really looking forward to that!
Thanks for the hard work!

As the number of my RSS feeds keep growing in Feedbooks, I just wonder if it is possible to add one more feature enhancement: download all the news with just a one-click action, instead of manually clicking each subscribed feed. Thanks in advance!

Is the Hanlin V3 a UMS device ? If it's UMS and you're running Windows, you can use the tool that I uploaded on the topic a few messages ago to automatically sync all of your subscriptions to your device. That's what I'm using for my Sony Reader.

Hi Hadrien,

I registered at feedbooks and received the confirmation email. However, the email is empty. I tried with 3 different emails, and got same results. I also used the "Lost your username/password ?" feature, and got an empty email as well.

Please help. TIA.

Ok, just manually confirmed your account myself (avh4).
Strange though, I just tried creating an e-mail and it worked fine. What is your e-mail client exactly ? Does it support multipart e-mail (HTML+Txt email) ?

Woohoo !!!! I logged in successfully. Thanks very much Hadrien

I use Internet Explorer 7 to view my Yahoo mail account. I think it does support multipart e-mail.

Now I am off to explore FeedBooks. Thanks again

I think you can download the sync tool from this thread to DL all your feeds with one click.

Thanks, Hadrien and flamaest. However I am using Mac & Linux. So would it be possible to make a *nix version of the tool with the source code? A simple command line version will suffice.

And yes, V3 is a run-of-the-mill USB Mass Storage device. The internal 512MB memory and a 4GB SD card make it a giant USB stick...
