Downloaded news feeds can contain many hyperlinks to web pages which exist in the RSS articles. Using my kindle I can't stop inadvertently pressing text with embedded links and jumping to web pages when I only want to page forward in the document.

Is there a recipe command that would convert all the web hyperlinks to 'flat' text, i.e. the text with underscoring still appears with the article but there is no underlying link to a web page.

I did try this code found in a sticky recipe post but it does not kill the links.

Spoiler:

Thanks in advance.
