Well, I think there's 2 parts to your question.

You need to determine what format your feed reader downloads things as, and then any ereader that reads that format should be able to use the file just like a book. So which ereader you want depends on what format your feeds are downloaded as.

For the 2nd, can-I-automate part, I don't know of anything that does exactly what you want.

Currently I use Calibre for this. I set up its News function to grab the sites I want. Calibre downloads the days new articles as epubs whenever it's running. I hook up my ereader and send the feeds over like regular books, and then I can read them whenever I want.

I'm not aware of any ereader that will connect at a scheduled time and automatically download things, so I think your basic workflow is going to have to be like this:
1) Connect your ereader to your computer
2) Have news feeds download to your computer through an RSS reader that downloads for offline reading
3) Transfer those files to your ereader

If you want to use a tablet you would probably have more options due to having actual RSS reader apps available on the tablet, but I don't use them so I can't answer questions about that.
