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'll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

Yeah I've already jailbroken this one. I'll probably replace the screen as someone else suggested, there's a very nice ifixit tutorial

 

First of all, I know this is not the kind of questions that usually are done in asklemmy but I don't know where to ask, sorry folks.

It's a 5th generation kindle and I really loved reading on it. :(

Bonus question if the kindle is doomed: best e-ink reader on the cheaper side? I don't want anything super powerful or fancy, I just want to load my collection with calibre and read on it. - bonus points if it's a libre and or open source friendly.

Thanks, appreciate it!

I know it's not what you're asking but switching back is truly horrible, I have to use w11 at work and I hate every second of it. One drive shoven down your throat, Xbox stuff wants to install something everytime I update, installing stuff from random exes found on websites (I know the store exists but it sucks if your needs are not "I want to install candy crush"), changed something in your path variable? Reboot! Wtf? I really hope microsoft abandons windows in favour of its cloud apps for people who need it and lets Linux distros rule the desktop world

 

Would I receive notifications for new comments on posts I saved?

Underworld by Don DeLillo

 

And if so, how much? Less, same or more than if it was actually charging something?

I'm in the EU if that changes something.

I don't know what you're using for Lemmy and have never used Apollo but I'm using Voyager and many people say it really feels like Apollo. P.S. I am using the web app but they also have native app options now

Of course books are very valuable, but I would say that for language learning, at least for me, they are insufficient since they lack people pronouncing the words

Guess you're right, too bad I'm not a kid anymore.

Cool thing about being an EUer is that I don't need to be undocumented, I could travel, work, live in another EU country with a different language from mine without a problem, but I currently busy in my own country and want to learn french

This is a great suggestion, thanks!
