This is something I've recently restructured in my own life. While I am aware that reading on a laptop display does not cause any harm to your eyes (1) I rather like the entire experience of consuming longer text on e-paper. So I went out an bought a Kindle. My favorite part with the Kindle is that I can email myself articles which are interesting, as well as browse text-based websites on the experimental browser.
I essentially have the following setup:
- Laptop runs my 'morning coffee' script before work, scrapes my favorite few blogs + HN for the latest articles and adds them to a queue
- All the articles I shared (via email) to family and friends get added to the queue as well
- Script sticks top news headlines and content together in 1 PDF file and emails it to my Kindle
Now I can read comfortably with my coffee in and hand and even see how much "progress" I've made with the content I plan to consume.

- evek 9y agoI use Instapaper for similar purpose. I set it up so it sends me 10 articles from Unread every morning in a digest form.
