Creating Recipes for Trade Publication Subscriptions

Hello-There are obviously a lot of very smart and talented people on this fourm. Unfortunately, while i continue to value my Kindle Dx more each day, i am a luddite with the recipes etc. I was wondering how hard it is to create recipes for various specialty publications that i subscribe to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, while i have a paid subscription to the wall street journal, when i use the standard recipe in calibre (which is an amazing program), i get truncated versions of many articles rather than the full paper. Again, any suggestions would we welcome.

Many thanks, and hopefully i will become more sophisticated in these areas with time!

No one can tell without looking at the web site. Some are easy, some very, very, hard.

I believe it's because those are subscription only articles.

Maybe you are using the wrong recipe. There is "free" WSJ recipe, and a "paid" WSJ recipe. They are not in sequence.

Also, if you are really using the "paid" recipe, your user/password may be wrong.

I can only find the "free" WSJ recipe. Where is the "paid" one? It doesn't come up when I do a search in Fetch news or when I do a visual scan of all 330+ English recipes.

My bad. After posting the above, I did a SLOWER visual scan of the Fetch news recipes and found the "paid" WSJ recipe listed as The Wall Street Journal. Sorry for the intrusion.
