Feedbooks Discontinues Newspapers

luqmaninbmore · 12-18-2010, 06:06 PM

This may be a bit old, but I haven't seen a post about it:
http://www.feedbooks.com/news

Does any one know the reason why they discontinued this service? I loved it. I could be anywhere but as long as I had access to a computer with an internet connection (or a connected ereader), I could get my custom newspapers. I preferred it over calibre, despite the superior formatting of the latter.

They seem to be re-inventing themselves as a commercial book store. They haven't added any new (free) PD books in quite a while.

(Which I guess makes sense, giving away free content is presumably not a great business plan...)

That's kind of sad. Is that why Hadrien no longer posts here?
