From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How are you selecting feeds to download? If you use a cloud/self hosted RSS service you can get a feed of articles you star. From there you can use a desktop feed reader to download the starred feed to your kindle:
Calibre can download news articles as .epub files, and supports transferring them to the kindle via USB. It can extract webpage text from non full-content feeds in a customizable way with Python.
KOreader's RSS feature stores feed items as .epub files as well, but it's not as customizable. It does support full text extraction, but you don't get any options to customize the output as far as I can tell.
among other things, there is a plugin for Gemini client for KOReader, there is also something interesting to read there. or antenna-to-epub
Wow I'm already using Calibre but didn't know about that feature! Awesome, will look into it, thanks!
I second Calibre. You can configure it to roll all the articles into a single epub too, so they don't clutter your ereader. I tested it out recently and it works really well. I haven't had the discipline to do it yet but I love the idea of connecting to the internet once a week to download content and messages and then going back offline.
