hmm, sounds like he wants to download the webpages that rss feeds link to...

i recall such a app being worked on, but i cant recall what it was called right now...

found it:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...51&postcount=3

seems it have not been updated in a while, but should still work as its a python app...

nope, spoke too soon. i gave it a spin and it fails to add feeds

Ah right. That's going to be difficult since the N800's web browser won't even start up unless there is an Internet connection. I discovered this when trying to use the Google Gears plugin.

offline browsing is ok for me too. got lotsa html format ebooks and the browser handles them well, though screen scrolling seems to be broken, it only selects texts.

Sometimes its possible to run a database on a local webserver. For example with Wikipedia this is possible. Although one can also convert the SQL (or) XML data to 'dict' format allowing the command line 'dict' to access Wikipedia information. I don't know any other examples besides Wikipedia though.
