About

Kindle It lets you send articles you find on the web to your Kindle or other e-reader for easy reading. It is being developed as part of the Five Filters project to promote independent, non-corporate media.

For older Kindle devices without Wi-Fi, a sustainer account (see below) is required to enable 3G delivery (although Amazon will charge for 3G delivery).

For other devices, including Kindles, we also offer EPUB, MOBI and PDF downloads. These can be manually transferred via cable or downloaded over the web — depending on your device. If you need help, feel free to contact us at help@fivefilters.org.

How Does it Work?

Kindle It works by processing web pages in roughly the following way:

1. Article extraction using our Full-Text RSS tool
2. HTML cleanup
3. Conversion to Mobipocket (the Kindle format)
4. Email to user's Kindle address

We are in the process of releasing a self-hosted version which users can run for themselves.
