Article to Kindle

Features
Read full description

Article to Kindle turns the web page you're reading into a clean EPUB and sends it to your Kindle — the way e-ink is meant to be read (EPUB reflows; PDFs don't). - One tap from Safari to your Kindle. - Clean reading: strips nav, ads and clutter, keeps the text and images. - Private by design: the article is converted on your device. Email delivery uses a relay YOU host, through YOUR mailbox — nothing goes to us. - Free and open-source (MIT). Build it yourself, or support development with an optional tip. Email delivery requires a one-time setup of a free personal relay (see the project page) and adding your sender address to Amazon's Approved Personal Document list.
