One of the things I like about some newspaper apps on the iPhone or iPod like the Guardian or New York Times is the ability to read articles offline. This is not just handy when you don't have a connection at all. It's far quicker to download in one batch, especially on a wifi connection, than have to download each page on a slower 3G connection. My only workaround is to use the Guardian RSS feeds, which include full versions of the articles, but it's not exactly elegant.

Any suggestions?

Are you talking about for an N900? You didn't say. Older version of Maemo have WebHTTrack.

EDIT: Actually, maybe Feed Circuit is a little more on target. That's available for Maemo 5.

If only we could get it working under Easy Debian under N900...

If you don't mind something that runs on your PC (it's probably too large to port/run on-device, but I could be wrong) calibre can produce e-books out of RSS feeds.

Do you know a way to integrate it into the current browser ? what would be nice is http requests are queued and cached when connection is back ?
