As a digital Economist subscriber (for Android/iPad apps), I was very pleased to see the availability of a Calibre recipe. (I was rather upset about the idea of having to pay *again* for a Kindle edition.)

However, the "See article" links, e.g. in the "Politics this week" section, remain pointing to the full web URL, which feels a bit pointless as all the linked articles exist in the same MOBI. I.e. it would be fantastic if the "See article" links pointed to the article in the MOBI.

Can this be easily remedied? I'm a C# developer, but as I suspect this is not a quick fix, I have no idea where to start...

It would also be great to the the "official" issue date into the title. Is this maybe contrary to recipe rules?
