Your reading list, on your e-reader

PaperBoy turns the articles you save into proper e-books, pictures and all, and makes it easy to get them onto your e-reader.

How it works

Add a link directly, or let it pull in what you've already saved in one of your favourite services, like Instapaper, Feedbin, or Raindrop. PaperBoy turns each article into an EPUB with a cover, and pictures! Your e-reader picks them up from your personal PaperBoy vault, and when you finish one, PaperBoy notices and files it away.

Bring your reading list with you

Connect Instapaper and your unread articles (or just the ones you've liked) come in by themselves. Connect Feedbin and your starred items do too, and Raindrop brings in a collection of your choosing, or just your favourites. Finish an article on your reader and it's archived in Instapaper, unstarred in Feedbin or tagged in Raindrop, so your list stays up to date! See everything PaperBoy works with.

Supported e-readers

PaperBoy works best with CrossPoint, the open source reading firmware that runs on many popular e-readers, like the Xteink X3 and X4 family. PaperBoy has a custom plugin for CrossPoint that lets you download your articles and keep them in sync. But any reader that can open an OPDS catalogue (like KOReader) can browse your library and download what's new. Setting up your reader takes a few minutes.

Private by default

Your library is yours. There are no public feeds or share links, and PaperBoy never fetches anything from behind a paywall. You sign in with a passkey or a link we email you, so there's no password to forget, and each reader gets its own password that you can revoke without touching the rest. Delete your account and everything goes with it.
