Add RSS Feeds To Your Kindle 3

Adding RSS feeds to your Kindle is near impossible without a few external programs and internet apps to help you along the way. This is the way that I am accomplishing adding feeds to my Kindle.

Instapaper


First you need to create an account at Instapaper.com. It is free and only takes a  few minutes. You also need to set up Instapaper to email your kindle. Make sure you use your @free.kindle.com email address or you will be charged for delivery if you have the 3G version of the kindle.

You can have Instapaper email you once a day (usually in the mornings) or once a week (Friday morning). It will be formatted in a newspaper like fashion in you subscribe to any newspapers on your Kindle. Instapaper has bookmarklets that you add to a toolbar in your browser when you come across a long article on your nightly trip on the interwebs and you want to read it later.

If you are an Android or an iPhone user, Tweetcaster has the option to save embedded links with Instapaper.

Instascriber


Instascriber is a website that you log into with your instapaper credentials and then you add your RSS feed there. It is not instant delivery to Instapaper but seems to serve its purpose.

You can also use Calibre to aggregate your RSS feeds on a daily basis and then either transfer them to your Kindle over USB or email them using your @free.kindle.com email address. Calibre formats the feeds into a newspaper like book also. I am not going into the setup of  capturing the feeds with Calibre until I understand it a bit better.

I also use google reader on my Android phone. If I come across an article that I want to read later with Instapaper, I can email the web address with the send to option in the menu to Instapaper for delivery later. You can also use your "Read Later" bookmarklet in google reader on your computer to save for later reading.

There are a few more ways out there on the internet to add feeds to your Kindle but these are the ways that I do it.
