RSS replacement for 612?
Hi everyone!
What I'm trying to achieve is to download rss articles onto the device in the morning (without having to turn on my computer) so I can read them on the way to work (offline). So far I have tried the built in rss reader which is very hard to use: very clumsy interface and the resulting html pages are mostly badly formatted/hard to read. It also seems to fetch only headlines for articles which contain links to full articles. I tried review's scripts from the German forum which work exceedingly well (including TOC with links to articles), only problem is there is a script for every feed and I wasn't able to adapt it to another rss feed myself. I tried newstoebook.com. I used a Google Reader Account and the resulting epub is nicely formatted, also with TOC and links to articles. Only problem here is that i haven't been able to use this service directly from the PB612. I could open the site and even enter login data for Google Reader account (not really a quick way in the morning but best I could come up with so far) but it would not download the epub-file (nothing happened). On the PC there was a forward to the page where the file download took place, this seems to be the point where the PB612 fails: it stays on the same page where I press the button to produce the epub. Someone have any idea how to get the job done? newstoebook has an interesting feature btw: it can "expand" articles where there are only headlines in the rss feed plus a link to the full article. Thanks in advance for any input... |

Try use RSS reader from pocked book 602 FW 2.0.4 (not from 2.0.5, 2.0.6 or 2.1.2!). It is easy to use and you can read offline.
