Kindlerama

If you read a lot of online content, you need to know about Kindlefeeder, because it will drastically improve your reading experience on the Kindle. Kindlefeeder does two things extraordinarily well:

• It lets you pick up to 30 rss feeds from blogs, magazines, whatever you can find online that you like to read, and it converts those into a single document with full navigation and lets you wirelessly send it to your Kindle on a schedule you determine;
• It lets you copy and paste any text you find online into a simple form and, with one button press, send it wirelessly to your Kindle.

Thanks to Kindlefeeder, I get a little giddy when I pick up my Kindle each morning and see that day’s new blog feeds waiting for me. It would cost me well over $50 to “subscribe” to this many blogs through the Kindle store, if I could even find all of them on their store, which I can’t.

Option 2 is a real time saver for me. I subscribe to the print version of The New Yorker, but of course I’d much rather read each issue on my Kindle. Currently I have to look through the print issue for articles I’m interested in, go to their website and download the full text, paste it into a Word doc and clean up the formatting, save it and email it to my Kindle. With Kindlefeeder, I can skip the last three steps–I just copy the full text of the article, paste it into the Kindlefeeder form, and hit send.

The service is an extension of Kindlefeeds, which was created by Daniel Choi so that he could download RSS feeds into a format suitable for his Kindle. In fact, if you know what you’re doing with computers, he’s distributing the code here so that you can set up your own private Kindlefeeder if you like.
