The archivist
and the algorithm

The library, said the archivist, is not a memory. It is a forgetting machine. We keep everything so that we may choose, in time, what to lose.
It is the forgetting that matters. The selection. The quiet act of deciding what is worth carrying forward into whatever comes next.

You already own an e-reader. You already have a list of articles you mean to get to. The problem is that great writing lives in browser tabs — glowing, cluttered, surrounded by everything competing for your attention. Passages moves it somewhere quiet.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I send articles to my Kobo?

Organize articles into a publication, and send it your Kobo via Dropbox or Google Drive. Or if you prefer, download the publication as EPUB or KEPUB and copy it to your device via USB.

How do I send articles to my Kindle?

Organize them into a publication, and send it directly to your Kindle from Passages using Amazon’s free Send-to-Kindle service and it will appear in your Kindle library within seconds. Or if you prefer, download it as KFX or MOBI and copy to your device via USB.

Can I read Substack newsletters on my Kindle?

Yes. Paste the URL of any Substack post — or any web article — into Passages, and it extracts the text, strips the clutter, and lets you bundle it into an ebook. Download as KFX or MOBI and send it to your Kindle via Send-to-Kindle.

What ebook formats does Passages support?

Passages generates EPUB (for most e-readers), KEPUB (Kobo’s native format, with enhanced reading experience), KFX (Kindle’s native format), and MOBI. EPUB works with Kobo, Boox, reMarkable, and most other devices. KFX and MOBI are optimized for Kindle.

What’s the difference between EPUB and KFX?

EPUB is the universal ebook standard, supported by nearly every e-reader except Kindle. KFX is Amazon’s native format and produces the best reading experience on Kindle devices — with proper typography and dictionary lookups. KEPUB is Kobo’s equivalent, adding sentence-level highlighting and other Kobo-specific enhancements.

Do I need a Kindle account to use Passages?

No. You can use Passages with any e-reader. For Kindle delivery, you’ll use Amazon’s free Send-to-Kindle service with your Amazon account. For Kobo and other devices, delivery is through Dropbox, Google Drive, or direct download.

Is there a browser extension for Firefox and Chrome?

Yes. Passages has extensions for Chrome (also works with Edge, Brave, and Arc) and Firefox. Safari support is coming. Install the extension and save articles to your library with a single click — no copy-pasting URLs required.
