Hello.

I have to agree with the poster... this recipe does score over the inbuilt one on some points (No offence, Kovid!

I've been reading the Hindu via the inbuilt recipe for a couple of months now, on the Kindle, and to honest, it's not easy to navigate. The default of 100 articles is too much, and at least on the Kindle, navigation between sections is a pain. Jump to the 'Sections and Articles', and there's no way to get back to where you were. Also, I doubt anybody needs a hundred articles on EACH of the major states covered by the Hindu. In addition, the articles in the State sections rarely mention what city or town they're covering, which is rather frustrating. Agreed, this is hardly the fault of the recipe, though.

The RSS feed based system has the advantage of choosing which sections are important to you, and the RSS only covers the new articles. For example, I can add the Hyderabad feed, and not have to wade through the entire AP section.

One problem that's immediately apparent with the new recipe (at least on the Kindle), is that the associated image with the article always appears at the end of the article text, unlike in the beginning of the article, in the inbuilt recipe. Also, the images are stripped of their legends, so no explanation follows the images.

How can this possibly be resolved?
