If you are one of those people, or just want to make some clearance, I’m sure you’ll find the following tip extremely handy. By the way, it’s a shame that Amazon still does not have a “bulk delete” option for delivered personal documents. So, what’s the tip?

Here it is: to delete all documents you see on the “Your Kindle Library” page, you should do the following:

• Visit Mobileread.com forum and create a bookmarklet as described there
• Log in to your Amazon account and navigate to your Personal Documents section (Your account->Manage your Kindle->Personal documents)
• Apply any filter you wish, to make sure you will not delete important document
• Finally, run the bookmarklet created on the first step.

As a result, the 15 documents listed on the page will be deleted.

Simple? Yes, of course. Effective? Well, it’ll take some time to delete 1000 or 2000 documents, but that’s the best way to do that so far. If you know a better solution, please share it in comments. Thanks.

I will not waste your time and just tell you which alternative I’ve chose – it’s Feedly. And the reasons of my choice are very simple: Feedly has a wonderfull user interface (for the first sight it’s a bit too fancy, but it’s easy to switch from magazine to condenced layout which is very close to the G.Reader’s one), has clients for iOS, Adnroid and Kindle Fire and, last but not least, will import all your feeds and starred items (they can be found as “Saved” ones in Feedly). There are few missing things of course, for example there is no way (yet) to send a post from Feedly to SendToReader the same way we do that in Google Reader, but I hope it’s a temporary problem. And you can help me to resolve it.

The new service has already been covered in the post of the “Kindle World” blog and got a lot of feedback there, so I highly recommend you to visit that page and read the post and users’ questions – I’m sure you’ll find them useful. 

But let’s back to s2r.me. Here is a short, step by step manual on how to use it with your Kindle (any model – “Fire”, “Keyboard”, “Touch”, “Paperwhite” – no matter):

1. If you are not a registered user of SendToReader, register first. You can do that on your PC or Mac of course. You’ll need your username and password later.
2. Now take your Kindle and open the experimental browser, and open the web page you’d like to send from it to th same device.
3. In the address bar type s2r.me/ in front of the current URL in the address line and press enter or tap the “go” button.

That’s it, the page will be sent to the same Kindle in its native format. That’s the easiest way of sending web pages from Kindle to Kindle.

Few side notes:

• For the first time s2r.me will ask you to enter your SendToReader username/password before sending anything. That’s why you must be a registered user of my service to use s2r.me. Fortunately, you’ll have to enter your credentials only one time, experimental browser will keep you logged in using  cookies.
• The page will be sent to the Kindle address specified in your settings at sendtoreader.com
• s2r.me can be used on any device, even on an old-fashioned cell phone, if it has a browser. It also can be useful for iPad users, because in it’s latest models there is no way to install a bookmarklet.

Sample use case:  

You see an interesting story on a website opened in the experimental browser on your Kindle Keyboard. You know, reading using that browser can’t be called “comfortable” at all. So you put “s2r.me/” in front of the URL of that article and s2r.me sends that article to your Personal Documents area on Amazon servers, making it available for all your Kindle devices. Now you can close the browser, the document with that story is already in your docs list (if not, just make sure your Kindle is still connected to wifi or 3g and wait a couple of minutes).

Fortunately, the newest version of Sendtoreader bookmarklet can send a text selected on a webpage, and that fact changes everything. Just select the entire recipe on a webpage and then click the SENDtoREADER bookmarklet to send selection to your Kindle. Chances that you’ll receive everything are near to 100%. 

I’d also suggest you to make a “collection” on your Kindle to keep all received recipes in one place.

• Send emails from my GMail account. S2R backend (of course) can’t access your GMail account to process a message the default way, but selecting a text on the page you are sending that text directly to S2R for processing.
• Send web content from a password-protected page (handy for magazine subscriptions, forums with password-protected threads, etc.)
• Send web articles along with comments. I bet you’ll agree with me – sometimes comments are even more interesting (important) than the article itself, so I just can’t live without the “send selection” option.

Those are my 3 favorite ways of using Sendtoreader’s new option “Send selected text to Kindle”. Do you have your own ones? Please share your experience in comments.

• when it’s necessary to send text from a password-protected page: simply select the text you want to send and click the bookmarklet;
• when you want to send an article along with the comments: select everything you want to receive on your Kindle and click “SENDtoREADER”; 
• when you don’t need the entire article but only a part of it;
• when you want to send a local file’s contents to your e-reader: open the file in your browser, select the text to send and… you know

Those are only the most obvious ideas on how to use the updated bookmarklet, I’m sure, you have even more, smarter ones! In any case, I hope you’ll find the update useful. 

All you need to do – find out your Kindle for iPhone email address which is printed right under the “Docs” title on the app’s home screen. Remember that address and enter it in the “Your Kindle’s Email Address” field on the S2R’s settings page and you are done. Now SENDtoREADER bookmarklet will send everything to your iPhone/iPad to read later using so comfortable Kindle reader app.

And of course, you can now resend any document from your Amazon’s “Personal documents” page to your iDevice. Here’s how:

• Visit the “Manage your Kindle” page at www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle.
• Locate the title you wish to send in the “Personal documents” section.
• Choose your iPod or iPhone from the “Deliver to…” pull-down menu under the “Actions” button.
• If your iPhone or iPod touch is connected to a network, your document will be downloaded and appear on the Kindle Home screen the next time you open Kindle for iPhone. You may be prompted to log into your Amazon.com account if you haven’t already.

That’s it.

1. First, you need to bundle your favorite subscriptions (or all subscriptions) at http://www.google.com/reader/view/#bundle-creator-page. If you have your subscriptions at Google reader organized into folders, I’d suggest to make a separate bundle for each folder, this will make the resulting periodical better structured. To create a bundle out of a G.Reader folder click the little arrow on the right of the folder’s title as shown on the screenshot, then select “Create a bundle” in the popped up menu. That’s it.
2. Once you have a bundle created, copy the link to its feed to the clipboard (right click on the “Add a link to your website or blog” link and select “Copy” in the popup menu. You’ll need that link on the 4th step.
3. Now open Sendtoreader in another tab of your browser, log in and navigate to “My periodicals” page and create a new periodical by clicking on the “Add periodical” link.
4. Paste the feed link you have copied on the 2nd step in the “Sources” field… don’t forget to add [100] in the end of the link – to limit the number of items this periodical will contain. The number can be even higher thogh.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 for each bundle you’ve created in Google Reader. Remember, you can either paste all feeds into single periodical or create separate periodical with its own scheduling and other settings for each bundle.
6. Finally, setup the schedule and other options of the periodical and save it.

As a result, you’ll receive all articles from your Google Reader as a nice formatted, easy to navigate Kindle book (or periodical) along with all images and full texts. 

A side note: why do we need bundles? We need them for 2 reasons: first – they give us the feed link (the one we’ve copied on the second step), there is no other way to get such link for a folder inside your G.Reader or to the entire Reader list of articles; the second reason is flexibility – if you want to add another one rss subscription to the existing periodical, you don’t need to change anything in your periodicals on Sendtoreader, just add that subscription to one of the bundles you’ve created for using with my service.

Once DroidToReader is installed, run it and enter your login detailes in the options dialog box. Close it and try to send something using it. To do that, open up the browser, navigate to the page you’d like to read either on your E-Ink Kindle or in the reading application on the same K. Fire, tap the options button (in the middle of the bottom ribbon), select  ”Share page” and tap “DroidToReader”. If the login details are correct, you’ll shortly get the “item successfully sent to Kindle” message, and thу document itself on your Kindle a couple minutes later.
