My wife reads Engadget, and she'd occasionally comment that the recipe-created ebook seemed to have short summaries instead of full articles, but when I looked, I'd always find that the articles were just as short as the summary in the feed.
I never saw the longer articles, and I didn't realize that the current recipe pulled the feed summaries, not the articles, so I never found anything to fix.
I saw your post, and tried to find the article you referenced, but Engadget changes so quickly, the post had already scrolled off. (There was a sublink to that article in an article on their podcast, but no RSS direct link) I almost posted that you were seeing all there was to see, but I had my wife review your post, and she said "He's right!" It wasn't until I looked at the recipe and read Kovid's post that I realized it would never find a long article - it just grabbed summaries. I had to hunt through a dozen RSS feed links to find a long article, but from there it was fairly easy to write the recipe.
Let me know if you ever find anything missing. A few of the articles were formatted oddly. I fixed those in the recipe, but there could be some more from time to time that it won't handle correctly.
