How we chose this shortlist.
We looked for RSS input, scheduled ebook creation, and email delivery suitable for a Kindle workflow. We compare setup effort, schedule control, and software cost. Each option still depends on readable source content and Amazon’s personal-document delivery.
1. eReader Relay — our pick for managed reading editions.
Use a web account to group feeds, choose a timezone and cadence, and keep generated EPUBs in your library. Add saved public articles and, on paid plans, newsletter email. No server to maintain.
Free includes five sources and one reading list. Basic is AUD 10/month; Pro is AUD 35/month. Relay does not import custom Calibre recipes or bypass publisher logins.

2. KindleEar — for running and customising your own service.
KindleEar documents RSS/Atom/JSON collection, Calibre recipes, ebook generation, and scheduled delivery. Its software is free, with hosting, email setup, and ongoing maintenance left to the operator.

3. RSSPub — for a self-hosted EPUB and OPDS workflow.
RSSPub documents RSS/Atom feeds, saved URLs, scheduled EPUB generation, email delivery, and an OPDS catalogue. The software is free; you supply hosting and configure email. Check its current deployment instructions before committing to a setup.

Which should you try first?
Choose Relay if the priority is a managed reading routine. Consider KindleEar for recipe customisation, or RSSPub if serving EPUBs through OPDS is important to you. If you also want a research library, Reader has scheduled Kindle digests too, with different rules about which documents are included.
Whichever you choose, begin with one feed and check the first edition on your Kindle before adding the rest.
