It’s summertime here, or at least it will be technically in a week, and I would like a way of taking my read Later articles and reading them, while drinking coffee, in the early morning when it’s not too hot… On my Kindle Scribe.
I just don’t have a good workflow for doing this and I wonder if anyone else has?
Any advice would be much appreciated. I could just read them on my iPad but for this kind of stuff I would prefer to sit and read for 15 minutes on the Kindle Scribe, for obvious reasons
I’d like to understand this too.
You could PDF the articles to a folder on your desktop (using Safari’s “Export to PDF” option, and then drag it to the official Mac Send to Kindle app before you leave for the coffee shop. Not a great solution, but an idea. Or email it to your Kindle, but that doesn’t work half the time for me anymore.
Where do you keep your articles to read later?
Since omnivore closed down … nothing. So, I’m open to any suggestions, and I’m happy to pay.
One of the main reasons I use Matter as my read-it-later service is because of how easy they make it to send any saved article to your Kindle individually. It’s in the three-dot menu, either on the article page or any list view:
Instapaper has a similar feature, but theirs works as more of a “digest” where you either manually or automatically send a bundle of articles to your Kindle for reading later. I found, over time, that I prefer the individual approach because you can see article titles from the library view on the Kindle that way. I tend to just send longform articles to my Kindle and read the shorter ones on my iPad.
Another one that (as of recently) sends documents to Kindle is Readwise Reader.
Another option: make a global macro to email selected text to your Kindle reading address.
Years ago, I loved this! But it did become disorienting as soon as you failed to finish a digest on time.
Another vote for Matter if you’re willing to pay for a RIL app. Some nice features:
Readwise Reader—the app I use for PDF, ePubs, and articles that I need to take notes on, doesn’t do any of the above and it’s really too fiddly for a read-it-later app in any event.
Matter looks good. I’m using the 7 day trial to see if I like it. Thanks!
I did use Readwise previously and didn’t like their original Readwise stuff, but I liked their reader app. Weirdly, having both (which should logically make it more valuable) diluted its value so I didn’t renew.

Run from the share sheet to send web articles etc to your Kindle via Amazon’s ‘Send to Kindle’ email service, which supports most common document (Word, HTML, RTF, PDF, ePub) and image (JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP) formats. See Send to Kindle - Email for more information.
