The one drawback I see is that it's a violation of Instapaper's API Terms-of-use to have the Apps script store your username/password, so you'd have to enter them every time you used the script. |
Great! Thank you auspex for this info. Good to know it should be conceivable. I tried to look into it but I'm just not knowledgable enough to mess around with it. I'll just have to use Calibre's fetch method until someone with the time, interest and and knowledge comes along.
The drawback you mention I think should be alright. If I remember correctly you don't need your password, just your email address, to collect the epub.
Another way would be to not use Google Drive at all, but build an option into the Kobo Grive tool so it would check both Kobo servers, Google Drive and Instapaper during sync. But I should stop hijacking this thread, I'm sorry
