News Reader that REALLY works offline??

I've tried NewsBreak but it doesnt download and store the whole story for my news? It only gives me a snippit. This doesnt help when Im trying to read the news in my truck at some random location. What gives? I also cant get it to show headlines.. just says No New Headlines.. It seems very unconfigurable.

Any suggestions? Ive tried egress as well, it doenst seem much better, I dont like the fact that it cant scout out RSS feeds like newsbreak.

Sugesstions, any magic bullet here?

THanks!
Josh

Try Advantgo or MobiPocket. Do keep in mind that d/l ing the source page forvevery feed will need fair amount of storage.

Yep. In fact that is why we don't do that. What you are getting with that snippet is the headline that the feed source provides. Some feeds provide the whole story while others only give you a line or two.

However, there have been a fair number of requests for the ability to store offline content and we are considering this for a future version.
