Just to note -- currently FBReader (still in ver 0.71b) has a bug that prevents it from seeing the Documents directory. Anything you want to open in FBReader you need to put on the mmc card.

FBReader reads XML files and html and text files, all of which are linear streams of text; it doesn't understand page geometry, which PDF's are all about. I wouldn't think you'd have any success opening that file in FBR anyway.

"Q. Instead of the ebook I expected, I downloaded a file named 'ebx.etd'. Where is my ebook?

"This typically indicates that you did not install and activate Adobe Reader 7.0 before you attempted to download your ebook. ... Once you have downloaded and activated Adobe Reader 7.0, make sure you are connected to the Internet and right-click the ebx.etd file. Select 'Open With', and indicate Adobe Reader 7.0. This action will launch Adobe Reader 7.0 and start the download of your ebook."
...
"Download the Adobe ETD file, save it in your My eBooks folder, then open the file. The ETD file will then launch Adobe Reader 7.0, obtain your eBook license, and finally download your eBook."

Sounds to me like this ETD file has something to do with DRM, even if there is no charge for the newspaper page.
