To programmers: RSS reader simple idea for Kindle

Aeris · 10-12-2013, 05:44 AM

I've found this conversion tool:

https://github.com/pelletier/dailykindle

It converts feed urls into mobi files. Could somebody please help me compiling this stuff for running directly on Kindle Paperwhite? It requires python 3 to run

Then I'will take care of the KUAL app that runs the script, download and convert the feed to a mobi book and display to the user whether the operation has been successful or not, etc.

Thank you in advance

You lost me at Python 3 ;D.

Seriously, Python is a ginormous PITA to cross-compile. (Py3K is supposedly slightly better at that than Python 2, but nope, not really).

Also, it depends in KindleGen, of which there is no arm build, AFAIK.

You're probably better off finding a simple GTK RSS reader (in fact, that vaguely reminds me of something, someone might already have done it

).

I know that brianinmaine managed to installed rawdog RSS on his system, but no KUAL extension for this has been made yet...
