Calibre looks to be a fantastic program Kovidgoyal. Thank you.

kiklop74: Thank you for the recipe for New Statesman. Unfortunately I'm having difficulties with it. Other (built in recipes) seem to work, but the python script of yours I cannot get to run. When I click "Download" to start the download, nothing happens.

I tried pasting the contents of the .py file and I tried using "Load recipe from file". I see the code loaded into the edit box but it seems not to do anything.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thank you.

Edit: Having read in the manual in the "Tips for developing new recipes" section, I tried running each of the recommended commands from the command line (with the newstatesman.py filename) and it worked perfectly. So I don't quite understand why it won't work within the Calibre GUI. Hmmm.
