Trying Relay as a KindleEar alternative.
Start with one of your existing public feeds and send a test edition. Recreate the sources you want in Relay; there is no automatic import of KindleEar configuration or custom recipes.
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.
