Very neat. I've been doing this with Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/), which involves plugging it into your PC via USB. Simple RSS feeds work with little configuration, and more complicated news sites require writing a custom python "recipe".

This project uses Amazon's email gateway, which I think is limited to 25 articles per month (don't quote me on this).

Could Calibre (or any other software) generate an OPDS feed? I know that at least KOReader has support for OPDS[0], maybe vanilla Kindle firmware has it too. That would let you forget the part of connecting your device to a PC.

[0] KOReader also has an RSS reader, but I'm not sure how good is it and what it can support in terms of feeds "complicatedness"

I use KOReader's RSS reader, I haven't run into any issues yet. It supports RSS and Atom, supports pulling the full article text if it's in the feed, supports images, and puts each feed entry into its own epub.

Indeed. I used to this in Calibre all the way back in 2010.
