@dredmorbius@toot.catOnline reading is deceptively large
#BOTI, "best of the interval", is a concept I'd come up with a ways back, the idea being to capture the best / most significant content I'm running across (online or off) and keeping something of a round-robin file of the ten or so best items.
With #Einkbro it's possible to save Web articles to EPUB format. And to append multiple articles to the same document.
I've been building a BOTI doc over the course of this year, currently at twelve articles. And it's ... large. With comfortable font and margin settings, over 400 pages. A not-inconsiderable book. (I'm chewing my way through it slowly, distraction and focus are perennial challenges. But at least it's in one place.)
It's easy to think that an online article isn't very substantial as you scroll through it, but apply pagination and the length becomes apparent.
(I do wish I could get a word count from Onyx's NeoReader, only one of numerous document-management weaknesses of e-readers generally. Onyx is par for the course here.)
And now, that doc isn't all the BOTI organisation I'd had in mind either, but it is a useful tool in the box.
@dredmorbius Glad to hear of your research on this - I've never heard of these tools and never occurred to me I could create an EPUB document!
@dredmorbius@cobalt I've raved on this particular feature of #Einkbro before.
Einkbro itself is just a mobile web browser, based on the FOSS browser (also a mobile device web browser), but with specific optimisations for e-ink devices. You can run it on any Android device.
What's truly inspired though is its save-to-epub feature. Unlike save-to-PDF which creates a new document each time, the ePub docs can be concatenated in a single file. If you're working on a specific project of other unified theme, it's brilliant. See: https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/107958709435468728 for more on this.
