Hi everyone! I'm a newbie

I'm considering getting an ebook reader 'cause I have to read hundreds of news every day and I'd like to preserve my eyes

Some newspapers are on pdf and some are not, so I'd like to use caliber to create ebooks from rss feds...

Usually feeds have incomplete news; on the caliber guide is told how to do have the complete news from the bbc site.

The problem is that the "trick" is based on the fact that the URL of the print versions on the BBC site has the same filename and a different filepath.

ARTICLE: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7312016.stm

...BUT... generally the path is the same and the filename is different...

Is there any solution?

Thanks
