I get manage my ebooks and get news by using Calibre. Calibre has recipes that allow you to schedule and download news from 100s of sources. I even created recipes for two local papers in NC and submitted them for inclusion. I attached an example series from my news downloads via Calibre.

Some html is just not part of the standard epub rendering engine and will lock up or reboot any reader.
