Trying Relay as a Instapaper alternative.
Try one reading list with the public articles and feeds you actually read. Relay does not currently import an Instapaper archive, so keep any existing notes and saved items in your original library.
For Kindle delivery, approve Relay’s sending address in Amazon and verify your destination with a test. Kobo and other readers need EPUB transfer or a compatible email workflow; Relay does not provide native Kobo sync.
