Try a small set of feeds in Relay before moving your reading routine. There is no automatic Reader library, highlight, or OPML import. Keep Reader if its annotation and research workflow is central to how you read.
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.
