Adding a Blog not shown on Amazon (that I can see)

Villordsutch · 01-02-2012, 03:46 PM

I follow an 'occasionally' posted blog, however I cannot seem to see it on Amazon. Is there anyway of getting my Kindle to show it some open arms so I can get it sent to my Kindle to read?

My way of doing this:

Add the RSS feed via Google Reader, that way when a new blog appears it shows up in Google Reader. Save the blog feed from GR to Instapaper and have Instapaper send me the blog to my Kindle.

A few steps to set everything up, but once set up it's a seamless delivery to my Kindle via WiFi.

That's a nice idea. I have set up an Instapaper account and dropped the link in. However, I cannot see where to send the subscription email in.

Is this the email I registered with?

A-ha!

I may have found it

Villordsutch · 01-02-2012, 04:24 PM

Right I've set it up. Will only see if it works when he updates

Any idea how I delete it from the Kindle once read?

On the Kindle Keyboard you delete files like this:

Highlight the file name, press the left arrow of the 5 way controller, press the center of the 5 way controller once to choose to delete and press it again to say ok. As to the other Kindle flavors I'm not sure how to delete.

Also: there's a mention of how Instapaper can be used with Google Reader here.

It works YAY! (Delete and Instapaper)

Yay!

For the longest time I was primarily a ReadItLater fan, and then I got my Kindle and realized how easy it is to send documents to the Kindle.

Kindle seems to become more and more amazing every ruddy day.
