Over the past few years, I've gotten more into reading. It's a great way to learn from other people's mistakes. And I loved how the Kobo e-reader really solidified that habit. It helped me become "a person that reads". Instead of the person that keeps getting sucked into social media. The one who trades their limited leisure for scrolling SEO/AI-slop. To improve the reading experience, I started hacking on my own Kobo. I added features to read articles from blogs, news sites, Reddit, and X, and even included custom screensavers and AI enhancements. Since Pocket is now shutting down, I turned my modifications into a tool: The Kobuddy app: https://kobuddy.app Kobuddy lets you sync web articles to your Kobo and import all your highlights and notes. If you have a Kobo, give Kobuddy a try and let me know what you think! :)
