Thanks for this idea.
I tried to use html2mobi from the mobiperl kit. This produced a neat mobi file with hyperlinks etc.,
However..
I was looking for this utility mainly as a replacement for mobipocket on my n95, by reading html on my itouch. The mobipocket reader on desktop seems to get bogged down when i put in too many rss links. The generated. mobi works great on my n95. however i dont have a full fledged utility to read mobi on itouch..textReader doesnt support hyperlinks on mobi or html. Stanza et al is too painful to load.
I took a page out of your suggestion and did a few exernal tweaks..i now have a data file with name and rss url pairs. Awk reads this file and then invokes getfeed.pl. So i can now generate individual html files, and then have awk write a rudimentary html index/contents html file. Then scp this entire folder into the itouch(pre connected via itunnel). This works great and reads comfortably on both n95/itouch.
But after all this still have an issue. the html is not reflowed requiring me to scroll from one end to the other for each line. So using plain html seems not such a great idea and have to rest using mobi on my itouch.
Thanks..hari
