Not sure if this is the correct forum - please let me know. I'm trying to add feeds from this page, but they don't seem to work right - I get a page of code, instead. Is the page just not set up for tablets? Wouldn't surprise me.... http://www.stltoday.com/rss/

Okay. I think I have at least a partial handle on my comics reader after checking with the developer and my own noodling around. And I thinki putting it in Airplane Mode may've helped, too. Now, to ask a question on the forum about RSS feeds, which I don't get very well....

bjs229: I'll check Readability out. There is a bewildering number of apps out there, and I've not heard of that one.
JayJ: so far, I have Daily Comic and Android Comic Reader. I like the latter, but it's a bit annoying (beyond having to be connected) because so far I haven't figured out how to make it go to the first comic strip downloaded, instead of the most recent. Or to mark them "read" very easily. The other issue so far is while Gocomics.com (where I believe Comic Reader goes) has a lot of strips I like, it doesn't have them all, surprisingly. And it's not because of King Features banning it - apparently, that's only an issue with Daily Comic.
I've been noodling around with Google Current, and like it because it does, at least, partially download stories, but many of the sites I want to read offline come through the RSS feeds (?) and they dont' always seem to be updated in the most timely of manners, which I was surprised by.
I really like the way Taptu brings news through, but I see some of the same problems and there seems to be less story - and frequently no pictures. I even use Pulse for some things, but it's the least effective, if I'd like to read more or see the pictures.

Thank you for the welcome!
So far, my search on the forum site has not paid off, but I'm still looking. At the moment, I now have TAPTU and Pulse loaded, and I'm mostly happy with the news, although Taptu slightly edges out Pulse because I get more pictures with my news items, some of the time. I really like Comic Reader over Daily Comics, but noticed that both of them depend on a wifi connection when I'm wanting to look at them at work where there isn't one. I'm hoping to either find a way to download them so they'll stay, or another reader that performs that function.
I'm also wondering if what I really need is a website downloader for my news, but then that would probably only be from one source. I like the agents that pick up items by channel, rather than one source.

Howdy:
I've now joined the ranks, and I'm a "rank" beginner with this thing. I know just enough about it to be dangerous. Haven't even really had much time to play with it yet (gasp!). The main reason I bought it was to replace my newspaper and download news websites to the tablet. So far, I've only done it a little at home, and I don't think it's doing what I want it to, yet.
So, if anyone can point me to the correct board to ask my questions about apps and capabilities to store data away from my wifi connection (because there isn't one at work), I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
