Most newspapers charge for subscriptions. It costs a lot of money to create a newspaper, after all.

What type of newspaper are you looking for?

A high-brow heavyweight? A tabloid-style scandal sheet? A paper that espouses a particular political view? One that's especially good for business news? Arts and culture? Sport? And are you looking for a daily? A weekly? And what about the geographical area that it serves?

Or is your only criterion for choosing a newspaper that it's free?

Thanks for the idea. But it seems google app engine is free to host KindleEar app only for 3 months. after that it wont work?

I am looking for simple news from few RSS feeds. they will be in Tamil language(India). ePaper subscription charge is high here. so it will be better if something free is there.

Assuming the website can be browsed for free, you can use calibre to download news from a variety of different websites -- or write your own recipe for a new website -- and email or sideload the created ebook to your ereader.

A number of people heavily use this feature, and have contributed a vast array of news recipes to calibre. I don't see any Tamil ones, but there are 24 different English (India) news sources. Hopefully something there will appeal.

You can also ask in the recipes forum if someone can create a specific recipe, or help you make it.

thanks for the idea. I tried calibre. But everyday we need to run the app in pc to get the news in mail. It will be better if it can be automated from some website.

You can schedule it in calibre and then leave calibre running all the time. Some people leave calibre on anyway.

Another option is to use the cli interface (ebook-convert handles recipes as well) in a script, and schedule that via cron/task manager.

KindleEar requires google app engine which can be run only 1 month for free. Is there any other website that offers free service? I am not able t find any such site.

Google app engine is free always with a limited resource usage which is quite sufficient for personal usage.

I know nothing about these or if there are costs associated with them, but the come up when Googling "RSS to Kindle", maybe one will do what you want.
