Exporting Pocket articles to one PDf or EPUB to print or read on Nook

September 11, 2015 7:21 PM

I have quite a bit of articles saved to Pocket. I want to compile them in one "book", preferrably with working links in EPUB but am okay with PDF to print.

I don't care about graphics retention from original articles, just text though pics are fine. I can even read on a backlit Tablet (Android) though prefer the Nook for my eyesight. I got so far as using an IFTTT reciple to automatically export any Pocket articles to Evernote, but don't know enough about Evernote...yet. If you have any ideas or alternative methods, I am interested! Thanks and have a good weekend

I don't use Pocket but I do use Calibre, and this seems like a thing Calibre should do with no trouble, and this seems to agree. (Calibre will convert to basically any format, so don't worry that this is "for kindle" - you can easily save things as epubs, I know, because I've done it.)

Best answer: Whoops, forgot to link to the Pocket article about how to use Calibre with it, in case that's helpful.

Response by poster: Thanks, rtha...I use Calibre for my other book conversions and had no remote thought that it was even an option for this though makes logical sense. I will check into it a bit more tomorrow morn...thanks for the helpful link. I will keep this post open for a bit just in case there are any side notes from fellow mefites.

Response by poster: @rtha or other : I followed the easy directions, and it pulls from Pocket but doesn't retrieve anything. It is a 3 page EPUB that says "My Pocket Articles" for Friday Sept 11. So...I am not sure if that is b/c all my articles are older or what. If anyone has an idea(s), let me know. I think maybe I need to tweak something. It looks highly promising.
