The Hindu Recipe not working

Thanks @unkn0wn for always helping out.
One more query: Is there any way one can send ebooks to the kindle wirelessly without amazon monitoring https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...acking-privacy

[unkn0wn]

No. I think you can do this after jailbreak. check kindle developers corner

I made some additional updates yesterday.. after uploading of recipe. Also MIT tech review.. to include 'letter from editor ' part.

[unkn0wn]

revamped this too.. similar code.

Hi @unkn0wn, The Indian express recipe too isnt working expected from a week or so. Earlier it didnt used to fetch the articles and now to it just fetches 2 sections- Op-ed and explained. Please check if you can help out.

[unkn0wn]

I also faced this. So I created a print edition of the recipe to fetch from express print page.

find the recipe here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...51&postcount=2

but unlike hindu, this page doesn't have all the articles that are present in the print edition.

I didn't want to update the feeds based recipe.. maybe RSS links will start working again, like the one or two that came back, lets give it a month. If it doesn't we'll parse from the webpages itself.
