It usually takes less time than that with backend mode on, but yeah you're right I should put some kind of an indicator for it.

Thanks for the feedback and the compliment!

I was building an OpenTelemetry observability platform in a single executable file (in Golang) and was using ClickHouse as the database, and replaced it with an embedded DuckDB, so now it's truly a single executable file platform.

Were you logged in or not?

If you were not logged in, then the conversation happens on the Kindle itself so yeah it's gonna be slow.

If you were logged in and the "backend mode" was enabled, then the delay will most likely be fetching the article images, compressing them and converting them to jpeg on the backend, but there's a setting to choose if you want to embed images or not.

But you can read the blogs online without downloading them, with full control over font settings. Is that not good enough?

Can you tell me which feeds you tried and whether or not you're logged in?

No, I only have a Kindle, but if it's compatible with the Kindle browser then it may be compatible with Kobo as well.

If you have a Kobo device can you try it please?

I really like the idea of reading blogs on my Kindle, so I built https://inkfeed.xyz

It's a web-based RSS reader optimized for e-ink devices (especially Kindles) that allows you to read blogs online via the Kindle browser, and download the blogs (directly on your Kindle or email it to your Kindle email).

I only tried it on my Kindle, can you try it on your ReMarkable and give me feedback?

And it does support fetching the full article using Mozilla's readability package!

Please try it and let me know what you think!

I think I might have what you want.

I built a web-based RSS reader for the Kindle browser (but it should work on other e-ink devices too).

You can read feeds online or download them directly on your device.

Please try it and let me know what you think!

Show HN: Inkfeed – RSS Reader for Kindle

adhamsalama — Fri, 29 May 2026 16:44:20 +0000

Hello.

The Kindle is my favorite device and I read a lot on it, but I also like reading RSS feeds, which aren't supported on the Kindle.

This requires me to either download the article and copy it to my Kindle (using Calibre) or sending it via Amazon's Send To Kindle feature. I dislike both options.

I wanted to read RSS feeds just like I read books on my Kindle, so I (with the help of Claude) built a web-based RSS reader that's compatible with the Kindle's experimental browser (tested on PaperWhite 11). It doesn't use any JS frameworks for maximum compatibility.

This RSS reader allows you to read feeds directly on the Kindle's browser, and you can also download the article directly on your Kindle or email it to yourself.

Initially it was a just a simple RSS reader using a CORS proxy, and saved RSS feeds and user preferences like font size to local storage, but the Kindle browser clears local storage after a while, so I decided to add a backend to save them, then I thought why stop here?

So I added the ability to email the article to yourself in case you want to add it to your Kindle library. A user tried Inkfeed and suggested I add the ability to browse Wikipedia, so I implemented that too. You can search for Wikipedia article, read them and download them on directly on your Kindle using Inkfeed.

You can still use it without the backend if you toggle "Backend mode" OFF in the settings, so that it truly does everything on your Kindle (except that it relies on a CORS proxy to fetch feeds).

I deployed the backend (Go + SQLite) on a Hetzner VPS (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD) that costs me $4 a month, and SSL is handled by Caddy.

The code is free and open source.

Here's the repo: https://github.com/adhamsalama/inkfeed

I'd love to hear your feedback, and I also need people with older Kindle generations to test the JavaScript compatibility.
