any newspaper adds with 'send to eink' option?

artdam · 05-07-2012, 05:24 PM

Hi,
I am a proud owner of pocket eDGe and I love it.
I have updated it to almine and everything works.
However, I've been searching for a tweak that would allowe me to read articles, found with news apps, on e-ink side. Something, like book icon in the oryginal browser.
Are there any apps like this? Or a way to assign a button to this? Something like lcd2eink but that actually converts the content to epub?
I am sorry for any mistakes, English is not my native language.

Install calibre on your PC; it has the ability to download news, etc., as long as there is a "recipe". The data can be saved as epub and transferred to your edge. Calibre has a forum here on mobileread: www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166.

Though designed for ebook library management, read and see demos; calibre-ebook.com/demo

Thanks, Gunner, but it is not what I'm lookiing for.
I'm interested in an app that would create a button like the one in standard browser which could transfer the content of WWW page to eink as epub. And it could be used with other programs, like news apps.

The only way you will get an app like that is to write one yourself. After all, you must remember the EE and PE are almost the only devices with two screens so most app developers don't add them to their list of devices.

Like vicinc said, why not just use the default browser?

or like Gunnerp245 said you can download newspapers in ePub format using Calibre:
