Thus, I don't understand why would you want to manually force the system to drop its cached data.

Also, KOReader has a built-in RSS feed that works pretty much in a similar way to the tool you wrote. It can fetch the last "n" articles of each feed, and download them and save them as EPUBs locally. (I've used that on an old Kindle device, I'm assuming this feature is also available on KOReader for Kobo.)
I am not a fan of KOReader and its interface design. If I'm going to use a third party software, I prefer Plato, even though it doesn't have RSS functionality.
