That's frustrating. I wonder why they don't just open source it, seems more and more companies buy services and shut them down when they can't convert it to pure profit.

It's working but not perfectly yet. The author's documentation does not reflect the current state of the project, but only needed a few simple changes. |
Ooh, that's pretty neat. Does it run the sync and that's why there's a subscription cost? Could you self-host and not pay?

I've tested it (self-hosting is the only solution currently offered, but a hosted service will be available soon). It's easy to save content with a browser extension. For the moment, there's no app for mobile devices yet, but there's a workaround.
For now, Readeck allows you to export articles and collections as a single ebook.
We still need to find a quick solution to transfer ebooks to Kobo, as was possible with Pocket, without any hassle. (For now, I'm adding calibre-web and synchronizing with Kobo Sync.) |
Well, that's certainly an option. I personally just sideload my books I buy outside of the Kobo store and keep the rest in Calibre, but this certainly seems like an elegant solution too. I wonder how many of these solutions are just repackaged RSS feeds.
