Upcoming: RSS to Mobipocket & ePub

RSS feeds in DE

Lifehacker recently mentioned Feedbooks‘ ability to turn RSS feeds into PDF files. We’ve had this feature for a few months now, but mostly in a beta-ish state and strictly limited to PDF.

These last few weeks I’ve been working on improving this part of the service, here’s what you can expect around late June/early July:

  • much better speed
  • ePub and Mobipocket output
  • for Kindle users, we’ll produce a guide similar to our current one for public domain books: it’ll be very easy to update your RSS feeds directly on the Kindle this way

For a first look at our Mobipocket output, I’ve uploaded several examples on Mobileread.

Update: Teleread also mentioned this upcoming feature.

    into the RSS feed box on Feedbooks. I looked and there’s definitely not a

    Don’t think that http://www.nytimes.com/rss is the right URI, I get redirected to a page with several feeds.
