This paper is a contribution to the problem of characterizing the ℵ0-categorical Stone algebras. If the dense set is either finite or a chain, the problem is solved by reducing it to the ℵ0-categoricity of the skeleton and the dense set, solutions for these being known. If the dense set is a Boolean algebra, we show that this type of reduction works for certain subclasses but not for all such algebras. For generalized Post algebras the characterization problem is solved completely.
