It would be wonderful if we had "Generic Recipe" - enter the URL at the Recipe and download the article; done.

Sort of what we would do using web2disk http://xxyy.com but would like to have this feature on the GUI.
You can accomplish that task by using instapaper.com. Calibre has a recipe for that site. Go to the website, register and start adding articles you want to read. Once you are ready download them using calibre instapaper recipe. No coding involved at all.
