I bring this up occasionally: If you use Pocket (built into Firefox and low-friction plugin for other browsers incl mobile) the Kobo e-reader is awesome. You can import Pocket articles to read offline and they are essentially displayed as epub e-books. They're also displayed in print-optimized format (no ads). E-ink ends up being a great way to read these long-form articles.

Definitely Pocket is a great service and provides a cool experience for online reading with its reader mode and integrations. But this is for the users that prefer online reading (definitely a lot). However we believe that lots of people would actually prefer paper. And I think paper should be an option up top with online reading and audio, when it comes to internet longform content. It's just really tough to get things right, fast and cost-effective but we will give it a shot

Another option is to use e-ink Android tablet such as Boyue Likebook, where you can install the native Pocket app.

  Huh, an e-ink tablet with Android >6 (or 4.2 which was ubiquitous for a while). I almost lost the hope to see this. Pity that it's already three versions behind, of course.

I tried that, pretty great. My one gripe: it only syncs “articles” and there’s a lot of content pocket doesn’t recognize as articles. Find any way around that? Mailchimp newsletter html versions are a big one.
