thanks!
Calibre obtains content for all recipes by "scraping" web pages. That means it loads web pages with articles and removes all extra parts of the page and keeps the text. That process can be performed ONLY on HTML pages - which means where content is in text format.

If you have a content displayed through use of flash - which is the case of new yorker e-paper edition than we can not extract the text since it is displayed in the page as image.

I mentioned digital e-paper edition since it contains all articles but they can not be treated with calibre. Standard New Yorker web site does not contain all of the articles in HTML format.
