Offline News Readers

I have a Nokia 5800 and am trying to find a news reader that downloads the RSS title, summary AND complete article for a complete subscribed RSS feed. MobiPocket reader used to do this but Amazon bought it and killed it and the old MobiPocket software doesn't work very well on S60 V5 phones.

I've seen articles about readers such as Upvise and Resco but these don't have full offline support - by which I mean that I want to press button while I'm at home with my wireless LAN and have the reader download all the new titles and full article text for subscribed RSS feeds. Most of them will download the title and summary, but when you try to read the full article they then try to download it - which ain't much use when you're reading the news on the bus to work away from your wireless LAN!

Does anyone know an app that will do this?

Sadly there are no alternatives to the renowned Mobipocket Reader.

That's the main reason why i stick with my trusty N95 8GB: I can stand very long hours of reading through the news and magazine stuff that i collect offline, without frying my brain, not even spending half an Euro. It also displays images from the feeds themselves !

I have little hope some day could come up the program that will bring S^3 that feature.
