Ottawa Gazette

[jman66]

Hello, I can not seem to download the Ottawa Gazette, or National Post, or any Post Media papers thus far to my old Kindle Keyboard. NYT, New Yorker, and others work fine though. I am a complete newb with Calibre, Anyhow, here is my output.
Oh, and I meant to write "Ottawa Citizen" in the title, oops.

Is there hope?

Thanks,

All the CanWest news source recipes are based on the same code. It's likely the website has changed. Unfortunately, the recipe author for those particular recipes is no longer active, so unless someone is willing to take over maintenance for them, they are unlikely to be fixed.

Okay, thanks for replying. Guess there's always the Globe and mail.

I used to maintain these recipes but I've moved on to onlinenewsreader.net which is a free web and mobile app for many of the news sites supported by calibre. There is no relationship between the code in calibre and my app, but my stuff is maintained and up to date.

I like Calibre because I can put news on my Kindle, but your App is great on my phone and very fast.

Thank you!
