#2I would suggest to just jailbreak the kindle and automate the workflow with koreader or other "apps"
Re: I turned my Kindle into my own personal newspaper
#3What 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 ambient light sensor to auto adjust the brightness, and a 300 PPI display.
I'm still "waiting" for a better / equal device to be released.

#4Uh, pretty sure the kindle paperwhites can import epubs natively now.

#5This 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.

I missed my oasis dearly but I couldn’t wait anymore and got a Kobo Libre (not sure the exact model, th color one); it’s pretty much as good, only thing i miss is the dual battery system.
Koreader is well supported and has all the features you mention.

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.

#8I 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.

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

#10Nice. 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 specific time.
Give it a try if you’re a Kindle owner.
