Best Practices for Saving Articles to Ereaders
I see there are a lot of tools such as instapaper, read it later, send to kindle, etc to grab documents from the web for reading later. There are rss readers such google reader which aggregates web feeds and if you tag them into directories they are organized as directories in the greader recipe. I am curious to hear from people here which tools they use, how they use them and why...
I am curious how people manage their news feeds and ad hoc page saving to get them into the kindle or other ereader. I am trying to learn about all the options and work it into some coherent strategy.
I would think that it would be useful to have periodicals/documents, in a single ebook so that the e-reader does not get cluttered....
Google reader can take rss feeds, but some produce a huge volume of articles per week. It would be nice to be able to filter and prioritize these and only grab the top X articles per week. I see google magic sorting - how well does this work if you don't actually use the reader to click on articles? Any other useful tools?
I read that read it later can automatically organize articles by subject matter. Does the recipe take advantage of that by putting it into sections? Are there other tools that do something similar?
How about getting a link to a pdf file uploaded to a kindle with a single click? I know I can download and email through amazon with convert in subject line. Any tools that do a particularly good job in converting pdf files to kindle format?
Look forward to hearing from you...
