Overview

The RSS Feeds feature allows you to automatically receive new articles from your favorite RSS feeds directly on your Kindle. Articles are checked every 15 minutes and can be delivered either immediately or collected into daily/weekly magazines.

 

How it Works

  • Automatic Monitoring: RSS feeds are checked every 15 minutes for new content
  • Flexible Delivery: Choose between immediate delivery or magazine compilation
  • Content Options: Fetch full articles from URLs or use RSS content directly

  3. Enter the RSS feed URL (e.g., `https://example.com/feed.xml`)
  4. Click Test to validate the feed and see a preview
  5. Configure your feed settings (see below)
  6. Optionally customize the feed title
  7. Click Add Feed

Configuration Options


Content Source

Choose how Readbetter should get the article content:


Fetch from article URL
  • Downloads the full article from the link provided in the RSS feed
  • Best used if the article content is not included in the Feed

Use RSS content directly

  • ​Default for Substack Newsletters
  • Uses the content provided directly in the RSS feed
  • May be incomplete for some feeds (some feeds only include summaries)

Send directly to Kindle
  • Each new article is sent immediately
  • You'll receive each article individually

Add to Magazine

  • Articles are collected and compiled into your daily or weekly magazine​

  • Edit: Click the edit icon to modify feed settings (content source, delivery method, magazine type)
  • Delete: Click the delete icon to permanently remove a feed and stop all future deliveries
  • View Stats: See how many items have been delivered and when the feed was last checked
