When a company wants to charge you for a service you can do yourself why not set it up your own way?
The above video and the below guide teach you how to use the open source software called "Calibre" and how to connect it to your devices. This software can be used to manage all written content including books and news articles in your devices.
This guide is part of the "essentials" pack which is available for all subscribers. But will be used in conjunction with other guides only available to paid subscribers.

Love this! Any chance you'd do a similar guide for Kobo? I try to avoid the Amazon ecosystem as much as possible.

Is there another email client you’d recommend for this? One that doesn’t have the MB limitations of gmail? I’ve been trying to set up a gmx account with no luck. I’ve tried all combinations (WiFi, cellular, vpn, no vpn, private browsing etc.) and it always gives me an error at the end. Even tho it creates the email so I can’t use the same one again. Thanks
Hey Alejandro, I got you. When you say the "error at the end" do you mean you do the the test email send and it doesn't work? Or do you mean something else like you can't even log into GMX account at all?

Love this! Another irritating question. Seanald. I would like to read newsletters when I wake up in the morning, but I don’t want to check my email, because I don’t want to be reactive to the works until my brain boots up. Is there a way to use this magic/technology to make an App that my Substack newsletters and also non-Substack newsletters could all go to? Like an app which only opens my Newsletter labels in Gmail?

Thanks a lot Sean for all the effort on sharing your knowledge, I really appreciate it. I'm facing some issues with the setup of GMX+ Calibre, seems like GMX is refusing the credentials which Calibre is sending. I would like to know if you recommend any other providers to automate this task
Hey, someone else was having an issue with this too and it was because they were trying to send a bunch of newspapers at the same time. And that kind of triggers the thing when you schedule the newspapers if this is what you’re doing, then you should schedule one at one time 130 minutes later than 30 minutes later you can do this from like 2 AM to 5 AM so it all shows up when you wake up, but you may just wanna separate them

I followed all the steps and the email didn't send:( any suggestions?
Is it giving you any feedback? Like "Email didn't send" or is it saying it sent and the assets aren't showing up on your device?
