Hi
Is it possible to make an ebook of an online pdf magazine.
The complete magazine location:
http://emagazine.tehelka.com/tehelka...f/pagetemp.pdf

The entire magazine comes in the web-browser if I use this link.
However, when I use this as a feed on Calibre, it gives an error and cannot download anything.

I am not a Python user, so I do not know how to ask Calibre to convert the file format (from pdf to MOBI.)
(If this works) I would also like advice on how to automate the process. The part "http://emagazine.tehelka.com/tehelkaenglish/" remains the same. The next number is the issue "27112010" stands for 27Nov2010 and the end remains same.
I looked at bbc example and in that a prefix is added to each feed. If I use 'http://emagazine.tehelka.com/tehelkaenglish/' as feed, then it goes to the present issue. Is there a way to add 'pdf/pagetemp.pdf' at the end.

Thanks a lot.
Sumeet
