It's not as simple as just entering a web page's URL into the 'feed' field. A "feed" has a special format that gets parsed by the recipe. Your web page doesn't have that format. You wrote that you click on 'next/back' to get what you want. However, there are probably lots of links on each page. Links for ads, links to register, links to navigate home, etc. The recipe would need to follow only the links you want, and none of the others.

Can it be done? Probably, but you'd need to custom write it to do what you need. You could look at some of the multipage recipes. You might also consider web scrapers like wget, web2disk, WinHtTrack, etc.
