I've actually been kicking around the idea of making a web app similar to Instapaper, but specifically tailored for the Kindle. I was thinking of adding priority articles (articles you want on your kindle next), with other articles as filler (ones you want to read, but will be bumped if you find a more important/interesting article). Does Instapaper fill this need for most people?
- Loic 16y agoUm, is it really worth it? You add a level of complexity and anyway at the end of the day, if you have all your articles on the Kindle you can always access the TOC of your Instapaper issue to jump to the ones you want to read. Personally, I would not need such classification system. Note that usually I only have a handful of articles to read, so I am probably not the right user for such improved system.
- phsr 16y agoI have a huge back-log of articles in Instapaper, but there are definitely articles that come up that I want to read right away, so I think the priority system would help for me. Another thought was to add RSS feeds as well, with priority filtering on them as well.
- Loic 16y agoYou have Kindlefeeder[1] for feeds. I have not tested it, but it is recommended by Instapaper for people willing to read feeds on the Kindle. [1]: http://www.kindlefeeder.com/ http://www.kindlefeeder.com/
- phsr 16y agoI know about kindlefeeder, but my thought was combining a prioritized Instapaper with a prioritized Kindlefeeder, to give you a daily digest of articles you'd like to read. Backlog and lower priority feeds would fill the digests when you dont have new, high priority articles to read. If you used Instapaper + Kindlefeeder, you'd have 2 digests to read.
- _grrr 16y agoDoesn't instapaper already integrate with Kindle? You can have instapaper email you a .mobi file to your @kindle account with links to text only version of the saved pages.
