No longer for reading news?

I've been absent for just under two years, but had written some cool recipes, e.g. for RealClear. Coming back, I discovered that some major recipes seem out-of-date... the Dilbert one doesn't grab anything, for example, and the WSJ one uses an ineffective mechanism for trying to get at the content.

I've updated the WSJ one and will post it soon. But is this no longer a common use for Calibre? Do people not use it to prepare their daily reading of the internet in an easily-indexed ad-free fully-cached portable form for both desktop and their tablet?

(In other words, is there any point in me posting improved recipes that do better scraping/formatting/etc for Dilbert, WSJ, RealClear, SlashDot, etc. - sites I personally read?)
