Hi,

I've been playing around with recipes through Calibre - such an amazing programme, I'm loving it.

One problem I keep coming up against - however - is partial content feeds. For some you can make a simple manipulation of the the url (for instance, adding '?pagemode=print' as in the Freakonomics blog). However many feeds do not have print versions, or there are not easily accessible by this method.

For most (all?) partial content feeds, the full content can be found by clicking the link in the title of the entry. This will take one to the full article. I feel intuitively this should be a simple enough thing to do, however I have been playing around trying find a way and been unsuccessful (I have to admit, I am entirely amateur when it comes to Python).

Is this do-able?

Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere, I did search but came up with nothing.

Regards.
