I hope Android ecosystem has good readermode-like app.
I have a 10 inch BOOX device and was using Instapaper. But it's buggy and fails paginated rendering a bit too often. vs. Pocket doesn't have any pagination mode.
Pagination is very nice to have especially for e-ink based devices where scroll UX isn't smooth.
- rchaud 4y agoInstall Firefox Android and use Reader Mode on that. If you want to save the article for offline reading with pagination, use the Print to PDF option on the Chromium-based Kiwi Browser, and select A5 paper. This is narrower and shorter than US Letter, so it'll flow better on a 7-inch screen. Finally, if you want to convert articles to EPUB, you can do so by pasting the link into: https://dotepub.com/converter/?lang=en https://dotepub.com/converter/?lang=en . On desktop, I have a FF extension that handles this, but it doesn't work on Android.
- InitialLastName 4y agoGee, we tell people "this is easy" and then the answer to "how do I do this" is 2 different browsers on two different platforms.
- rchaud 4y agoEverything I listed is for Android devices. I simply provided 2 different options because I too like reader mode but PDFs keep the fidelity of the original web page.

- arusahni 4y agoDoes Pocket's "Page Flip" mode not meet what you're looking for?
- flakiness 4y agoHmm this is ... not bad! Wasn't aware of this before. I still love pagination as the first citizen as it gets bottom margin right. But I think I can live with this page flip thing. Thanks!
