I kinda wish there was a separate news feed for these long, meandering but often interesting stories (I propose we call it hacker news after dark). over 3k words is kind of a big commitment for the kind of bathroom breaks I am normally reading hacker news on so wish the main feed was kept to sub 2 k word stories/news. The other problem also happens where I sit down to the kind of epic bathroom break where I could enjoy a longer form item like this and then only run into said longer form item after chewing up most of the time on 10-15 shorter articles (on second thought, we could rename the original feed to normal dump and this new feed to epic dump).
- Biologist123 4y agoMy request would be for a button which saves the article to a form which I can read on a kindle or remarkable at a good time, for example on the commute home.
- uoaei 4y agoFirefox has something like that called Pocket. I don't know how easy it is to send the articles to an e-reader.
- antipotoad 4y agoKobo readers at least have Pocket built-in.
- thedailymail 4y agoIf you use an ios device you can save webpages to Books directly from Safari. This creates a pdf that should be transferable to other e-reader devices.
- dpkirchner 4y agoI just tried it -- I couldn't figure out how to save directly, but I could save the page as a PDF to Files and then from Files share it to Books. Note: if the page you are saving makes use of deferred loading of images you may need to scroll all the way down before starting this whole process.

- verisimi 4y agoRight. How are your bathroom breaks going anyway? Plumbing all working well, I hope! Drinking enough water?
- snapplebobapple 4y agoRight as chocolate rain most of the time but sometimes it is cloudy with a chance of meatballs.
- verisimi 4y agoGood job!
- aaroninsf 4y agoOut of the box solution: change your diet!
- AlbertCory 4y agoSecond that. I found myself thinking, "too many adjectives."
- rospaya 4y agoI call it "send to Kindle".
