Hi robota,
I have an ipaq 214 and for DLing rss feeds for offline viewing I use mobipocket reader. The problem is that you can't synch your subscriptions on the go unless you have a computer with you.
But nowadays I mostly use Google Reader, as it is my primary RSS aggregator and I've grown tired of exporting feeds from it to mobipocket reader every time I subsribe to a new feed. So I just fire up the Opera browser on my ipaq and check feeds in the Google Reader mobile.

Your nickname aroused my curiosity as to its provenance, it actually means "work" where I come from. What a coincidence.

What I forgot to mention is that mobipocket reader has the article extraction capability, which is quite reliable, no need to write complicated recipes respectively for every feed, like with Calibre. I'm unaware of any other program/service with article extraction that is as reliable and free of charge on top of it.
