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? Mike |

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. Last edited by eschwartz; 04-14-2015 at 12:19 AM. |

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.

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.
