This should be a normal thing you can do on a kindle. I miss kindle magazines.

I would suggest to just jailbreak the kindle and automate the workflow with koreader or other "apps"

A while ago I made this to get content from websites for reading in pdf. With what I use (Supernote) you can have an automated script to pull articles in the morning and put them in a dropbox folder that automatically syncs with the device.

Nice. I consumed Hacker News like this for a few weeks.

I've had Calibre running someplace and mailing me news every weekend for around... 15 years?

I keep waiting for Amazon to break mail-to-kindle, but fortunately that hasn't happened yet. Gmail, though... breaks every three months or so.

Nice write up!

After a couple of attempts I settled on a a different approach for my old Kobo.

It can connect to Dropbox so I deployed a small app in Fly.io which takes a link, bundles it as an epub and uploads to the right folder. Day-to-day all I use is a bookmarklet

i created my own rss reader + bookmark list website that i just access through the kindle browser (i dont have it logged into any amazon account though). yours is a cool internet-less idea though!

Love this approach — using existing hardware creatively instead of buying new gear. The Readeck + Calibre pipeline is clever, especially since Readeck can export directly to ePub.

One thing worth noting: if the "requires a computer" limitation bothers you, KOReader (an open-source reader that runs on Kindle) can fetch RSS feeds and even Wallabag/Readeck content natively over wifi. Might close that last gap without needing a new device.

This setup feels cumbersome, since you also have to manually track which items you have read. Kobo seems to offer better features in this sense (better than a jail broken kindle), however I like the build of my Kindle Oasis 2 too much.

That’s wonderful. And I can do that to my 1st gen Nook as well.
