pinboardzine
is a command line tool for converting unread bookmarks in Pinboard into a Kindle magazine for reading on your Kindle.
pinboardzine
is a program for Python 3.
Install pinboardzine
as any other Python program:
$ python setup.py install
If you don't want to install its dependencies system-wide, try installing it in a virtual environment.
pinboardzine
uses the Readability Parser API to simplify HTML pages for Kindle viewing. Before you begin, register a Readability API app to get a Parser API token.
pinboardzine
also uses Amazon's KindleGen tool to create the Kindle files. Download it from Amazon and install it so that kindlegen
can be run from the command line. (This tool was developed with KindleGen v2.9.)
Once you have a Parser API token, run pinboardzine
.
$ pinboardzine markpasc pinboardzine.mobi --readability-token b5Ae2d340BCBa8773FaebE0db4FCE45AABe2a0b6
Pinboard password for markpasc:
$ file pinboardzine.mobi
pinboardzine.mobi: Mobipocket E-book "Pinboard_Unread"
$
Once you have the .mobi
file, send it to your Kindle as you would another book you have the file for, such as by copying it over USB, emailing it to your Kindle's @free.kindle.com
email address, or using the Send to Kindle desktop application.
If you have Send to Kindle on the Mac, you can probably open it by open
ing the .mobi
file:
$ open pinboardzine.mobi
