Portable e-reader / in development

Keep the reading.
Leave the feed.

ureader is a portable, open e-reader for people who want to collect reading from RSS, news, and other sources, then read it on a device they control.

Learn how it works

A product direction, not a promise of universal access. Integrations and publisher rights still shape what can be brought over.

Intended reading surface

Reading, without the pull.

A visual model of the proposed workflow. The hardware, software, integrations, and content access scope are still being defined.

The problem

Important reading gets stranded across feeds, tabs, and devices.

You can curate good sources and still lose the thread. A phone keeps notifications nearby. A browser keeps offering the next thing. A read-it-later service can save an article without creating a place you want to return to.

A noisy streamMore inputs do not automatically become more finished reading.
A closed destinationA dedicated device can still narrow the sources and formats you control.
A deliberate queueThe useful middle is a calmer path from chosen source to sustained reading.

How it works

A reading workflow that starts with your sources, not a platform’s catalog.

The intended product direction in three moves. Exact integrations remain an open question.

01

Choose

Start with the sources you already trust: RSS, news, newsletters, and long-form reading.

02

Collect

Turn scattered inputs into one deliberate reading queue instead of another stream to keep up with.

03

Read

Take that queue to a portable device built around sustained reading, not notifications or endless scrolling.

The tradeoff

A dedicated device without a closed reading life.

Phone or tabletFlexible accessThe feed and its interruptions stay close
Read-it-later toolsA place to saveThe reading still ends up back in the browser
Closed e-reader ecosystemsDedicated focusLess control over sources, formats, or workflow

Open questions

Open by design. Honest about what still needs solving.

Access

Publisher access and rights determine which articles can be brought to a device.

Integrations

RSS and other source connections are part of the direction, with the exact set still to be defined.
