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

That's so cool, I would love to have a less distracting experience while reading the news.

It could even be paired with an AI summary service that could summarize Reddit/HN activity, like Huxe does in it's generated podcasts.

iPad with paper-like is a much more versatile device. Just turn the brightness now.

I faced the same issue, but I wanted to use my Kindle to read RSS feeds without relying on my PC, phone or Amazon, so I built a FOSS web-based RSS reader compatible with the Kindle browser. It may make your life a lot simpler.

Interesting project! I’d love to self-host but can’t find the backend server code - could you share a link to its repo?

I discovered this post while reading Hacker News on my Kindle BTW.

Uh, pretty sure the kindle paperwhites can import epubs natively now.

The devices themselves can't read epubs (last time I checked anyway), but the "Send to Kindle" service will convert epubs to Kindle-formatted files.

And that means you give your epub to Amazon to convert, and whatever else they feel like doing with it.

He mentioned in the article that his Kindle is not connected to the internet (didn't explain why), so this is a no-go for him.
