In practice, I find RSS strangely disappointing. It's possible to syndicate well, but most sites don't. CNN only provides like half a sentence per headline while Engadget spams you with a giant picture and the whole article--almost completely unformatted. I can't even think of any sites that strike a pleasant balance. It might not really be possible given the limits of the RSS spec.

As others already mentioned, you can do this with Calibre. It does get full articles for CNN, try again. In terms of newspapers, there are already lots of recipes and the list grows very fast. My computer gets few newspapers (NYTimes, WSJournal, San Francisco Chronicles, few Russian ones) every morning at 6am, it takes only few minutes to get them to the reader. If you can connect Sony to computer few minutes a day, you can get your newspapers (with full articles, many of them with pictures).
