Read it later options

Very recently installed KOReader on my 11th generation Kindle Paperwhite, causing me to start reading again! That's the highest praise... I also like simply reading Wikipedia in KOReader. Other favourite features: turning the kindle upside down to avoid accidental button presses, smooth highlighting, the status bar, and a page count on the lock screen.

What I'm wondering: what do people who jailbreak their Kindles and use KOReader do as a read it later service? I'm not completely unfamiliar with installing docker containers, and so I could install Wallabag, but configuring everything just right with the database etc... does not come that easy to me either.

Adding RSS feeds is not flexible enough. I want to be able to add individual articles from my phone to the Kindle. (Thinking about this, maybe there are ways to share articles to a custom RSS feed and then read that on KOReader.)

Not completely discounting Amazon's own 'send to Kindle' function, but the iPhone share extension for that is slow, and I believe it would require me to quit KOReader every time.

Maybe something through Calibre? Fine for me, as long as it doesn't require manual intervention on the computer every time?

Looking forward to read about your experiences - a bit surprised about how few things came up when I searched for this.

In the interim, I have installed Wallabag in a docker container - for now only accessible locally, and so would need further work.

I also tried adding an RSS feed of a 'collection' of articles in Raindrop.io. This would be very user friendly in terms of sharing things from the phone to Raindrop.io and thus to that RSS feed, but unfortunately the KOreader RSS/news reader seems rather buggy - have experienced a couple of instances where my feeds configuration file got corrupted. And I don't really like the interface of reading every article as a book anyway.

I'm working on an Instapaper client based on KOReader. It's only partly done (I'd call it alpha status) but you can definitely use it now if you are a developer or very comfortable installing stuff on your Kobo. Eventually I hope to make it very easy to install and setup.
