Interesting idea! I know I sometimes save medium articles (if they're really long by copying and pasting to word, then send them to my amazon kindle with a convert command in the topic to convert to their .mobi format. Are yall thinking on including a widget to make that process simpler?

Hi @richardiporter , yes, different formats like epub and mobi are on our pipeline (also a send to kindle button). Not a concrete timeline yet but high on our list

I wonder if there might be a quick win available here that basically takes the format you've already got (docx and PDF should work if i recall right) and merely puts it into an email addressed to the correct specific kindle with a subject line "convert" user would need to configure with their specific kindle one time, but then amazon does the converting for you...

👋 PH This is Yorgos, co-founder of Screenbreak. Being locked down during March (v1) with plenty of time in my hands, I clearly noticed a problem that I faced and also felt passionate about tackling. - Excessive screen time in my day-to-day - Diminishing attention spans It was consistently tough to properly read quality longform content online. From screen related tiredness to having ads and notifications pop up and demand a share of my attention, my focus was compromised. Long story short, I wanted to read longform content that lives online (and there is a ton of high quality out there), in an inherent offline medium, paper :) Fast forward 7 months now, we are introducing to the PH community (https://myscreenbreak.com) We transform the online articles you really want to read into a format that's designed for paper. Our online service will remain free for testing until the end of the year and we just recently opened a limited test run for the paperback service. Looking forward to testing it out and hearing your thoughts :)

@yorgos_kats This is super cool. I think you and me might have very similar missions. Though different targets. We've built sendmemo.app and are trying to reduce the distractions around email/slack and all that jazz. I tried finding a contact for you to reach out but no luck. If you want to connect please do message me at. https://sendmemo.app/peter

There is a real need to "disconnect" and be able to read without being constantly monitored and sold-to. My biggest hope is that your data-privacy policies and practices protect your users (which I hope to be one!).

Hi community! I am Chrysothemis and I am a University Professor. I am an early adopter of @Screenbreak and I have to say that finally I found a service that levels up my reading experience without having to sacrifice another hour looking at my computer screen! The best thing is that I have now my own collections in a friendly book-format that I can take with me and read at the park. Highly recommended!

I was literally thinking about how useful this would be yesterday! I'd use this often to turn e-books/whitepapers into physical books. Great idea and can't wait to see the final iteration 🔥
