I was updating the Kindle tools posts a few weeks ago when I noticed that there were several Chrome extensions for Kindle Cloud Reader. I feel I’m still connected to the world, but with a much more peaceful mind.When was the last time you used Amazon’s cloud reading app? Did you know there were third-party extensions for it? Maybe the only things I missed are the rumors without fact check and click-bias content. Though I spent much less time on reading news, I don’t feel I missed anything. And just because of that, I can focus on reading instead of watching videos or play games.Īfter I started reading news on Kindle, I find I can read more carefully and completely. Some people may find low fresh rate E-Ink display is hard too use, but it’s perfect for book reading. And the screen likes paper so it doesn’t hurt my eyes. (My readings dropped a lot after I started working from home).
It’s so easy to take so I usually read it during commute. I find it’s the most useful thing I’ve bought in that price range. I got a Kindle after I graduated from university. Use Kindle (Or Other E-Readers) Instead of Phone or Computer But since it doesn’t collect your data secretly, it barely uses any resource in the background. The only downside is you need to leave it running in the background. It can be configured to send the e-book daily or on specific days in a week. You can do it manually or import an OPML file. It has many pre-defined sources but you can also add custom RSS sources. It turns the RSS sources into an e-book and send it to an Email address (Most E-readers, including Kindle, allow you to transfer books by sending an Email). The feature is available at “Fetch News” in Calibre’s menu. So you don’t need to give any information to anyone else.

Most importantly, it’s free and open source. It’s a very powerful e-book management software. Luckily, we have an even better option now: Calibre. There were a lot of platforms to do that, but most of them are not reliable anymore. So once we have the RSS sources ready, we need to import them. There is a tool called RSSHub does exactly this. But as long as the content is available online, we can use tools to crawl and convert it to an RSS feed.

Many websites doesn’t provide full article RSS output. With limited sources, I can focus more on the whole article instead of a lot titles. For the news sources, they should be focus on facts instead of its own opinion, and should cover the whole story instead of partial fact. That’s enough for 1~2 hour’s daily reading. Basically 1 or 2 sources for local news, global news, tech news and culture.
As a person who only wants to know important news and doesn’t want to lost in the overwhelming information, I subscribe to a few high quality sources. RSS is open and flexible, so people have various ways of using it.

RSS is also an open protocol, so you can choose whatever software you want without vendor lock-in. I talked about what’s wrong about the recommendation system in a previous post. You can choose the sources by yourself instead of some black box recommendation algorithms. RSS was so popular before Google Reader was killed. In this article, I will talk about one of the strategies of doing that: don’t read news on mobile phone or computer. In a previous blog post, I talked about one of the reasons I want to use mobile phone and social network less often.
