I have an Amazon Lambda that I can email links to and it downloads the text with Readability-like format simplification and sends to my Kindle. Use it all the time. Love it.

This is really cool. Do you have the code for this?

I do, but it’s in my “real name” GitHub and I’m not willing to out myself here. ;)

Sorry. Google I guess?

I made the exact same thing haha. I use it all the time now. Would love to compare notes.

How did you make the text readable from the links?

I forked Python “newspaper3k” and hacked bits of it to work better on sources I like.
