cool, can't wait to try your software!!!

question, I have read this whole thread, and I can't seem to determine if your software come with a bunch of RSS URLs built in as default..?

Thanks,

Got the app and all the components working great.. I downloaded someone's full.xml file from this thread and have a bunch of feeds i can start with..

I tried the subscribe feature on the app, but the app just sits-there and nothing seems to happen.. is this normal?

Thanks,
Fabian.

Here are my sources, those enabled, which seem to work the best for me. I started from the original poster which shared his XML sources, and grew it from there.

Sorry, while I was on vacation last week I tried using Mozy to do an online backup of my system which chewed up all my bandwidth. Should work better now (I gave up on Mozy in the end; it killed my bandwidth and was still so slow that I'd rather just buy more hard drives).

I dont want to alarm anyone unnecessarily, but McAffee VirusScan reports that the temporary files created thru the RSS conversion process are infected with the Exploit-ObscureHtml trojan. Tis might well be VirusScan being overzealous aobut the HTML content, but yo should know nevertheless (since it also prevents the program from working correctly).

- we could use the wiki
- we could just keep them on a thread

The main drawbacks to the last approach seem to be the haphazard organization that would result. Right now it seems like the wiki might be the best approach, and I can roll up the submissions on occasion into a single file and attach that to the first post.

So I've started a page at https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Xml_feed_files

What do i do with this info? sorry i'm new.

Is anyone else getting this program to actually sync with their Sony Reader?
I have clicked on the boxes to allow the sync to the reader, the log shows that final content has been received, but nothing appears on the reader at all?
