Speaking about 20 Minuten... there's an official app for this newspaper for free in the Nokia store.

You mean this one:
http://store.ovi.com/content/249828
?
That can hardly be called an app... seems to be links only.
Besides, even if an app will allow for offline reading, you still have to remember to launch it within range of your wifi, unless you have a data plan, in which case you don't care for an app, because you can just read the online version...

I live in Switzerland, where there are a few free newspapers popular amongst commuters; if you want a (free downloadable) newspaper from elsewhere, adapt as required.
First example: 20minutes - it becomes available at some point in the morning, I just guessed it would be there around 6am, so I setup a cron job like this:
#!/bin/sh INITIEEL=uit if [ `gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode` == "false" ] then INITIEEL=al_aan else gconftool-2 -t bool -s /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode false sleep 10 fi cd /home/user/dldepapers DATUMVANDAAG=`date +%Y%m%d` echo `date`: cronjob by `whoami` >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log if [ -e /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf ] then echo "file ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf exists in the Downloads folder" >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log else echo "file ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf doesn't exist, trying to download" >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads wget http://www.20min.ch/printpdf/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf fi if [ $INITIEEL == "uit" ] then sleep 30 gconftool-2 -t bool -s /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode trueAs I indicated in another thread, the gconf commands serve to allow background data connections, upon which it will take just under 10 secs to get connected to my home wifi (any known wifi node, or even cellular data, if you have it set to auto connect to that). If that setting was off, it will be turned off again after half a minute.
Oh, for wget you need to do
apt-get install wget
Now, once this works, the pdf shows up in the documents list (documents button/app), but in case there was no network connection at the required moment, I created this script:
#!/bin/sh cd /home/user/dldepapers DELTA=0 WEEKDAG=`date +%u` UURVDAG=`date +%H` if [ $WEEKDAG == 6 ] then DELTA=86400 #echo 1 dag elif [ $WEEKDAG == 7 ] then DELTA=172800 #echo 2 dagen elif [ $UURVDAG -lt 6 ] then if [ $WEEKDAG -gt 1 ] then DELTA=86400 #echo 1 dag else DELTA=259200 #echo 3 dagen fi fi #DATUMVANDAAG is latest weekday DATUMVANDAAG=`date -D %s -d $(( $(date +%s) - $DELTA )) +"%Y%m%d"` #echo $DISPLAY >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log #DISPLAY=:0 #echo $DISPLAY >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log #echo /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf if [ -e /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf ] then echo "file /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf exists" >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log /usr/bin/office-tools /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf else echo "file /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf doesn't exist, trying to download" >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads grob http://www.20min.ch/printpdf/ZH_$DATUMVANDAAG.pdf fiIf the file already exists, it will be opened in the pdf viewer.
Then I created an icon entry for the desktop:
Now, same thing for Blick am Abend:
cat getlatestblickamabend.sh #!/bin/sh DELTA=0 WEEKDAG=`date +%u` UURVDAG=`date +%H` if [ $WEEKDAG == 6 ] then DELTA=86400 #echo 1 dag elif [ $WEEKDAG == 7 ] then DELTA=172800 #echo 2 dagen elif [ $UURVDAG -lt 15 ] then if [ $WEEKDAG -gt 1 ] then DELTA=86400 #echo 1 dag else DELTA=259200 #echo 3 dagen fi fi DATUMVANBAA=`date -D %s -d $(( $(date +%s) - $DELTA )) +"%Y-%m-%d"` #echo $DATUMVANBAA if [ -e /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/"$DATUMVANBAA"_zh.pdf ] then echo "file /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/"$DATUMVANBAA"_zh.pdf exists already, opening..." >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log /usr/bin/office-tools /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/"$DATUMVANBAA"_zh.pdf else echo "file /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/"$DATUMVANBAA"_zh.pdf doesn't exist, trying to download" >> /home/user/dldepapers/download.log grob http://php.blick.ch/baa_epaper/"$DATUMVANBAA"_zh.pdf fiDesktop icon entry:
In case you didn't guess yet - indeed, no data contract,.. our provider charges CHF0.49 / 10kB.
But among each other my wife and I get unlimited free calls and free sms-es, at a monthly rate of CHF 0 (yes, zero), so we won't be changing to a different plan with data anytime soon...
