Like Can't fix instapaper recipeFebruary 13, 2021 at 11:53 PM The instapaper built-in recipe won't give me more than the last 40 articles. I believe the problem could be that instapaper only puts 40 articles on each page at their site and the next ones are on subsequent pages.
So I tried editing the built-in recipe. I made 2 changes: (1) I added more pages to the feeds area and (2) I increased the maximum articles up to 1000.

I had an idea of extracting Calibre's excellent e-book conversion functionality into a standalone Python package so I could use it in another project.

And when I set up a breakpoint in the ebook conversion CLI, it seemed to even have imported the PyQt libraries.
