Hi everyone, This post is to promote some code I wrote, and use daily. It's an alternative to Calibre News feature. (The code is Linux only.)

The idea is to use an rss reader to fetch only the articles you want for reading in Calibre.
The program will fetch the article, convert to epub, and add to Calibre, similar the Calibre News button.
Some advantages:
Filter articles for download in rss reader.
Use pandoc to convert to epub. I find the results look better than Calibre ebook-convert.
Impersonates a web browser bypassing bot detection.
Here's an animated gif showing a demo using the newsboat rss reader in the left window.
