Read your Instapaper articles on your Kobo device.
I wanted to read my Instapaper articles on my Kobo devices, and there's nothing out there that did what I wanted, so I created this to help me do that. It's tailored to my workflow:
- Generate a KEPUB for each article on my Kobo's Dropbox folder.
- Download some articles on my Kobo, optionally manually adding them to the Instapaper collection. If you use Dropbox just for Instapaper articles (like I do), you can use the Dropbox filter to see only your articles.
- Read them, add highlights.
- Sync the read progress and highlights to Instapaper (which then are synced into Readwise, and exported into your favourite PKM tool).
- Read articles are archived and, optionally, deleted from your device.
- Generate a KEPUB or EPUB for each article saved.
- Sync progress and highlights to Instapaper.
- Archive read articles and remove them from the device.
While true, the Pocket integration lacks some important features:
- It does not support tags, which is problematic when you have hundreds of articles.
- You can't add highlights to articles.
- It has issues with some long form articles. Particularly, most of the articles from Atavist end up with just the first half of their content.
- Make sure you have Deno installed.
- Clone this repository.
- Due to how the Instapaper API works, you're going to need an OAuth consumer token, which you can request here.
- Install kepubify.
- TBC
deno compile --allow-env --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net instakobo.ts
I plan on eventually creating something similar to Wallabako, that could run directly on the device and that could also be ported to Remarkable.
