Getting your pocket content delivered to your Kindle touch

I wanted to have the articles I save in my Pocket emailed to my old kindle touch... I hate reading in LCDs so I used for a while the en2kindle until the point it became paid. It's not expensive but after checking the python wrapper for the pocket api, I figured out that implementing something similar shouldn't be too hard...

So I came across the kindler on github and decided to give it a go.

First think was to have a look at the Pocket Authentication API Documentation and get a consumer key for the Kindler script.

I forked the repo changed a few things in the code because GMail wasn't working.

I now leave it running in my mac or Linux Box 24h a day and get stuff delivered almost instantaneously.

If you want to give it a go, here a few notes:

I had to install before:

pip install pyyaml
pip install setproctitle
pip install requests
pip install pyquery
pip install humanize
pip install gevent

Get it to work having an http server running:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

My cfg.yml:

api:
  consumer: ########
  redirect: http://localhost:8000/

users:
- pocket:
    user: ########
    pass: ########
  kindle:
    email: ########@kindle.com

smtp:
  host: smtp.gmail.com
  port: 587
  user: ########@gmail.com
  pass: <Application password! Not your GMAIL!!>
