Is there a replacement for Sendtoreader, no longer free
I've been using a service, sendtoreader.com , that sends docs, or text that you paste into sendtoreader's webpage, or a URL of a an article which then sends a doc to one's Kindle device. The text, which can be text you write yourself, or the article whose URL you give Sentoreader is converted to a doc which arrives in your Kindle. It all works within a minute and has been flawless.
Also, when I open a webpage with the Experimental Browser, I can tap the address field, prepend the URL of the current webpage with "s2r.me/" and hit send. A minute later, the webpage arrives in My Kindle as a saved, perfectly formatted doc. This has made using the Experimental Browser feasible in a pinch.
Sendtoreader has been free for most services, but it has canceled all free accounts. It seems to be the project of one person, and there is no advertising, so I understand that the freemium business model hasn't worked out. It is worth $23 a year, but I sleep better not doing any online commerce. If you don't mind sending money to a small online company, Send2reader is a great service. It has been up 99.9% of the time for the 3/4 of the year that I've used it.
I'd like to know if there are similar free services. I know I can email docs to my Kindle email, but I don't know if it's possible to send the URL of a webpage to the Kindle email in order to have the webpage sent as a doc to one's device, or if you can put text in a message to your Kindle email that Amazon then puts into a doc and sends it. Thanks for any ideas.
