I've recently relocated to Mexico but have an addiction to the New Yorker. Bought the Sony Reader and have been successfully downloading from RSS. However, the Recipe seems a bit whacked. It misses things, throws in a lot of extra pages, duplicates pages of junk (copyright notifications, how to subscribe, etc.) between each article. What I'm hoping for is a simple TOC in front (like the one found here: feed://feeds.newyorker.com/services/rss/feeds/everything.xml with the ability to navigate from the TOC to an article. I've tried modifying the Recipe with poor results - I'm so unequal to the task as to be comical. I tried just ## everything but the RSS feed listed above and got most of the content but 50% of it was the garbage listed above. Anyone have words of advice? Thanks. Calibre rocks my tiny little world.
