[WhyNotHugo]

I want to use it mostly to offload reading web articles (or RFCs) onto it, so I want a simple pipeline on my desktop that renders a web page into something e-reader friendly, and then sends it to the reader. I'm using something like Mozilla's readability to extract the article itself.

I don't intend to use the e-reader to displace paper books, I have no quarrel with those. I mostly want to displace "sitting on my desk, reading a multi-page article on a computer monitor".

It's custom software but still pretty dumb, doing most of its work in the background.
