Or, even better, don't buy a Kindle in the first place but get something that doesn't need a jailbreak, like for instance literally any Kobo reader.
Had a few kobos, very good readers, then bought a Box color go 7 ii, mainly because it runs android, so you can used it for so many things. Shame the company is based in china.
What i did is, jailbreak [1] my Kindle Oasis, and install KOreader [2]. This gives you full access to upload whatever ebook you want (SSH, WebDav, Syncthing, ...) and it can fetch RSS feeds (i use it with FreshRSS.) PS. The (very old) Kindle Oasis is still the best device there is to read on in my opion. Which is crazy, since it was released from 2016-2019... It has 2 phyisical buttons to turn the page, and an ambien…
I was intending to vibe code the whole pipeline then stumbled onto Readwise, $10/mo is currently cheap enough to prevent me from building my own.
(I splurged on the Boox so I could easily use/build Android apps on the reader/collection side.)
It does feel like there is a big OSS gap here, and I wish Readwise luck on commercializing too.
From my side the remaining piece is building my own recommendation / crawling pipeline to expand my set of RSS feeds, feels like a good project to add on and Readwise seems quite extensible so it’s a good base to build on.
Nice. I quit my job to build a product[0] to solve this exact problem. I’m not interested in news but I love reading blog posts, newsletters and interesting technical discussions on HN or reddit. So I built KTool as a “read it later on Kindle” solution. It supports web links, newsletters (via email forwarding) and RSS. I also added the ability to compile multiple articles into one magazine/ebook and deliver them at a…
FYI there are some styling issues on your landing page on Firefox mobile (dont see it on chrome)

I discovered KTool here when you launched and I love it! I hope you’re doing well

1. Self host readdeck, add articles to it
2. Have an ebook generated automatically each article saved/day/week/etc
3. Have the ebook be automatically pushed to your jailbroken kindle with KOReader
New side project unlocked, thanks!

what's the take on it being a shame that it's based in china?
EDIT: used the firefox extension to save it, pasting the link directly into readeck works :)

TIL that oasis was discontinued. Now I’m sad I did not upgrade to the version with usb-c. I’ll hold onto mine for a while. That said, I do most of my reading on a Books Palma 2 now. Smaller, so it fits better in a smaller bag or a pocket. And does have physical buttons.
