Suppose that you are using Calibre's news recipes to send articles to your Kindle. Now, most blog posts have lots of links in them, and if you click on them, you will open up your browser (if you have one) and the reading experience will generally not be very pleasant. What we would actually like is for the links to cause some external party to convert the destination of the link into a nice ebook format which then gets sent to my device. E.g. "Send to Kindle"ify all my links.

I'm wondering: has anyone already created this? (For example, converting links to use Readability to Send To Kindle)
