# DailyKindle

DailyKindle is a Python scripts which, given a set of RSS/Atom feeds URLs,

creates a MOBI file that you can directly use on you Amazon Kindle (or any other

device that supports MOBI documents).

Want to see what it looks like? Take a look at `examples/mobi_doc/`!

## Requirements

* A working Python 3 environment (tested on OS X + Python 3.2 + Virtualenv).

* [Amazon's KindleGen](http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000234621)

  binary.

## Installation

1. Grab the script code. Choose one of the following:

   * [https://bitbucket.org/pelletier/dailykindle/get/tip.zip](https://bitbucket.org/pelletier/dailykindle/get/tip.zip)

   * [https://github.com/pelletier/dailykindle/zipball/master](https://github.com/pelletier/dailykindle/zipball/master)

   * `hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pelletier/dailykindle`

   * `git clone git://github.com/pelletier/dailykindle.git`

2. (optional) Source your virtualenv.

## Usage

file to your device.
