Removing date from periodical title

elmoglick · 06-06-2010, 02:05 PM

I've been using the timefmt = '' trick to eliminate the appended date from periodical titles with good success with most periodicals. However, the current recipe for the The Atlantic seems to ignore it and insists on naming itself "The Atlantic [June 2010]". (Not sure when it stopped working properly with The Atlantic, but it used to)

Is there a fix for this so I can have the Kindle manage the magazine and put the old issues in the "Back Issues" section?

Thanks for any suggestions.

delete lines 39 and 40 in the recipe

That did the trick. Thanks, Kovid.
