InstaKobo

Read your Instapaper articles on your Kobo device.

What's this?

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.

Features

  • Generate a KEPUB or EPUB for each article saved.
  • Sync progress and highlights to Instapaper.
  • Archive read articles and remove them from the device.

But there's already Pocket integration on Kobo

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.

Getting started

Contributing

  • 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

Building binaries

  • deno compile --allow-env --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net instakobo.ts

Future plans

I plan on eventually creating something similar to Wallabako, that could run directly on the device and that could also be ported to Remarkable.
