Read Hacker News on Kindle (2022)

Previous announcement and discussion: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32637996">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32637996</a><p>Thought I&#x27;d share again since I needed it, found it and thought it was a perfectly simple and efficient tool. I liked that I could download the ePub directly instead of figuring out how to allow KTool to send files to my Kindle when I could do it easily myself.

In 2023 they upgraded the Kindle system so that the web browser is actually usable now. So you can browse Hacker News and many other sites directly, n WiFi. Even on my ancient Kindle it works.

Calibre have build in newspaper&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;site scrapper. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calibre-ebook.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;calibre-ebook.com&#x2F;</a> Would be interesting to create a plugin for hackernews. My left eye is in bad shape and have family history of retina detachment. I also start migrating to e-reader. think about e-ink monitor <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onyxboox.com&#x2F;boox_mirapro" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onyxboox.com&#x2F;boox_mirapro</a>

I keep seeing HN clients again and again to the point that... its tiresome. Why do you think there&#x27;s a need to create a client for a website?<p>&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40568585">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40568585</a>

This looks amazing. However sending each discussion to myself as an email or having to download it as an epub is really really tedious.<p>It would be so much more seamless as an app. I&#x27;m surprised Amazon never opened up an app ecosystem on the kindle.

KOReader has a RSS downloaded plugin, that could also be used to read hacker news.

&gt; the most interesting content is in the comment section It is, indeed!

That&#x27;s a really nice project. I used it a few minutes ago and the resulting file is great. I like how top-level comments are sections. Also, you can highlight text and write notes.

The Google Play app seems to be missing from the store? I get &#x27;app not found&#x27;. I&#x27;m in Croatia if that makes a difference

alternative: get an Amazon Scribe, surf the web
