E-ink displays offer a comfortable, distraction-free reading experience, but they currently lack native support for newsletters, which are a growing source of information for professionals and enthusiasts. While users can manually forward newsletters to their e-readers, the result is often poorly formatted, reducing readability. A solution that automatically reformats and delivers newsletters to e-ink devices could fill this gap, providing a smoother experience for those who prefer e-ink screens for long reading sessions.

The Core Solution

One way to approach this would be a service that aggregates newsletters and optimizes them for e-ink displays. It could work by:

• Syncing subscribed newsletters from sources like Substack or Mailchimp.
• Automatically stripping ads, simplifying layouts, and adjusting text for better readability on e-ink screens.
• Delivering the formatted content to devices such as Kindles, reMarkable tablets, or Boox readers via email or dedicated apps.

Offline access would be a key feature, letting users read newsletters without an active internet connection—ideal for commute or travel.

Why This Could Work

For users, such a service could eliminate the hassle of manual forwarding while reducing eye strain. Newsletter creators might see higher engagement if their content becomes more accessible. E-ink device makers could also benefit by offering pre-installed integrations, enhancing their hardware’s utility.

A simple starting point could be an MVP that lets users forward newsletters to a custom address, which then reformats and sends them to their e-reader. Over time, direct subscription management and partnerships with device manufacturers could expand its reach.
