  wallabag is a self hostable application for saving web pages: Save and classify articles. Read them later. Freely.

  

This is super interesting.

I've wanted to get an e-reader for a while now, but I'd really like to be able to read the articles I have saved in Wallabag[1] on it so I could go fully offline for a day or two a week. One potential solution I saw which is similar to this was wallabag-kindle-consumer[2] but both of this and your solution have issues that dissuade me from them. The first is that I think there's a lot of metadata that isn't encapsulated by both of these solutions. Tagging/highlighting are the first things that spring to mind. The second issue is both are very kindle-specific and I wonder if/how they'd work on a non-Amazon e-reader?

Take my comments with a grain of salt though - I haven't owned an e-reader in years so maybe the interface wouldn't even readily support tagging/highlighting the way I imagine it. I appreciate how simple your solution is and can readily see how it could be extended to support tags at least from the search interface and integrate with other services like Wallabag! Thanks for your work and if I do end up getting an e-reader you'll definitely be seeing some pull requests from me!

If the e-reader have a web browser it would work without problems, maybe adjusting css properties a bit.
