Read the Hacker News front page on your Kindle

Today's front page as one issue, so the tab you keep refreshing becomes something you finish.

Set this up Free for 14 days.

Why on a schedule

The front page is a tab people refresh. Delivered once a morning it becomes something with an end: thirty stories, read through, finished.

Set a points threshold and the noise floor disappears with it.

What arrives

Each story with its title, score and a link to both the article and the comment thread.

Default schedule
07:00 every day, in your own time zone
Format
EPUB with a contents page
Plan
Both plans — 50 sources on Standard from $3.99/mo, unlimited on Pro

Start from one of these
