Right now I use Read You on my phone to get RSS feeds and I read articles on my browser but I want to cut the time I stare at my phone throughout the day so I came up with this system:

Once a week I will look at all the feeds I follow on my PC RSS reader, select the ones I want to read during the next week and save them / export them (possibly in PDF or ePUB?) so that I can put them on my old Kindle (that has no internet access) and read them only using the kindle during the week.

This will drastically reduce the time I use my phone to first scroll and select articles and then to actually read them. Looking at a screen all day for work and also looking at a screen (phone) in my free time is not good for me and I want to change that.

If no RSS reader has that option, does anyone know of another program or firefox extension that would let me “export” web pages as pdfs or epubs?

    I like Newsflash. It’s a libadwaita app and is pretty seamless to use. The only problem I have with it is that trying to categorize feeds into categories can be really buggy.

    Maybe it’s worth creating a feature request asking for that. Is is possible for Kindles to display downloaded html files? If so, that would probably be much easier to implement.

    The most feature-rich RSS reader that I’m aware of, is QuiteRSS. I don’t actually know, though, if it has PDF/ePUB export…

      This is the RSS reader I use and like it a lot, but no it does not have an export feature like that.

    Miniflux has integrations for sending content to read-later tools like Wallabag and then reading it in KOReader.

    Nowadays I’m trying omnivore.app, also Feeder on Android and Pocket for good measure.

    I think most ereaders support rendering HTML, why not just save the HTML page? Thatd be a lot easier than converting formats.

    I have used QuiteRSS extensively, but switched to RSSGuard recently.

    No major issue with QuiteRSS, but I like how RSSGuard deals with rendering the article without any need for custom CSS.
