I have a similar HN reading modus. I created an app for my ebook reader (Pocketbook HD 3) that enables me to read all my RSS feeds saved to my miniflux instance[0].
The app displays all current articles, I mark the once that are interesting to me, download them as HTML and the HN comments to an database and then I am able to read the article + all hn comments offline. If I cannot read an article (sometimes miniflux failes to fetch the content), I send them to Pocket as I created an small app to read Pocket items on the ebook reader also. [1]
As both apps download the content I just sync the things that are interesting to me and then read everything in the train or wherever I am.

- Abishek_Muthian 5y ago> I am able to read the article + all hn comments offline Very nice! I didn't scrap articles when I was running hntokindle.com(It opens in Kindle browser) because of copyright concerns, But now since hntoebook is individual liability I'm thinking of implementing scrapping articles too and perhaps attach as a chapter with hyperlink to the title?
- JuanJakobo 5y agoWell, the best part about HN are the comments. I find myself often reading the comments first and then, if recommended, the article. So I guess only with the comments you are already helping a lot of readers. :)
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoAbsolutely! HN comments often serve as a high quality comprehension of the article and useful for deciding whether it's worth a ready. I've saved lot of time since I've started reading HN on Kindle.
