Hacker News Reader

Just to play devils advocate, I 100% do not want this.

I understand your reasons for making this and I fully support them, but the day Amazon make the Kindle into something other a way to read books is the day I drop the kindle for another reader.

The whole point of a Kindle for me is that I can use it to read and not be distracted by notifications or wondering what's on HN or whatever.

In the spirit of both this app's purpose and your desire for purity on the Kindle, I could see this being a perfect companion to Longreads type sites where I rarely want to read a 25 minute article on my laptop or phone and so frequently skip the article altogether.

Now to decide whether that use case is worth the monthly cost to me.

It was exactly me a couple of years ago. KTool has the free-forever plan that you could send a few articles per month. I believe this fits you perfectly.

TBF, nobody wants to pay 4 bucks a month for 3-4 articles.

But once you developed the habit of reading almost everything on Kindle, I believe 4 bucks/mo doesn't sound very expensive ;-)
