AI Summary Helper
Keep the article, not just the link
Saved articles keep their text and their images in a local archive, so they are still there when the page changes or disappears.
Archive and e-reader
Archive it once.
Read it on your e-reader.
Save articles with their images, compressed so they stay readable and small, then send them to your Kindle or any device with LocalSend. Offline, in your own time, with the archive on your own device.
Images stay readable, files stay small
Images are resized and compressed when an article is archived, so it stays light enough to send and sync.
Kindle, LocalSend or any e-reader
Send an article or a digest to your Kindle, or straight to another device, and read it away from the screen.
In practice
From your archive to your e-reader
Four things that happen between saving an article and reading it somewhere quiet.
Compatibility
Which e-readers does it work with?
Short answer: Kindle directly, Kobo and other KOReader devices through LocalSend, and any phone or tablet. Here is the full picture.
| Device | How the article gets there | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Kindle e-readers and the Kindle app | Send to Kindle by e-mail, as EPUB with or without images | Approve kindle@byphil.eu once in your Amazon account. The first three sends are free; unlimited with the Support Pass. |
| Kobo, reMarkable and jailbroken Kindles with KOReader | LocalSend: start the receiver in KOReader’s LocalSend plugin and send over your Wi-Fi | The plugin is a community project. Kindles need a jailbreak to run KOReader, which Amazon does not support. The file goes straight from your browser to the device, never through our server. |
| Android e-readers, tablets and phones | The LocalSend app, or KOReader for Android | Works on any Android device that can install the app. |
| iPhone and iPad | The share sheet, including AirDrop | AirDrop opens the article as an offline document. |
| Tolino, PocketBook and other readers | Not supported directly yet | These readers take EPUB and PDF by USB or through their cloud. If you use one, tell us. It decides what we build next. |
How to
Send an article to your Kindle in three steps
Approve the sender once
In your Amazon account, add kindle@byphil.eu to the approved personal document e-mail list.
Save the article
Open it in Chrome or Firefox and let AI Summary Helper archive it, with its images compressed.
Send it
Choose Send to Kindle, pick EPUB or EPUB with images, and the article shows up on your Kindle.
What it does
Everything a reading list should have done from the start
Save it, understand it, find it again, and actually get back to it — without another subscription holding your archive hostage.
Everything a reading list should have done from the start.
Everything a reading list should have done from the start.
You choose the model, the server, and whether anything leaves your machine at all.
The problem was never saving. It's getting back to what you saved — this is built around that part.
Every save becomes searchable, connected, and exportable — a real archive, not a growing pile.
Follow what you care about, see the good news first, and get the day summed up.
Read, listen or send it to your Kindle — whenever you have a free minute.
20+ languages, cross-platform
Read and summarize in 20+ languages using the extension, native side panel, or bookmarklet when the extension cannot reach a page.
Ghost highlights, right on the page
The AI highlights important verbatim passages so you can skim key insights and export them with the summary to Kindle, LocalSend or Markdown.
Instant read: listen while it writes
Listen while the summary is written: title first, then sentence by sentence, with pause, mute and speed controls. Replay it from any card.
A digest that picks itself
One tap curates a varied digest instead of five versions of one story, then bundles it for Kindle or LocalSend.
Questions
Archive and e-reader questions
How do I send a web article to my Kindle from Chrome or Firefox?
Install AI Summary Helper, add kindle@byphil.eu to the approved personal document e-mail list in your Amazon account once, then archive an article and choose Send to Kindle. Articles arrive as EPUB, with or without images.
Does it cost anything?
The extension is free and open source. The first three Kindle sends are free; unlimited Kindle sends need the Support Pass. Sending with LocalSend is free and never touches our server.
Can I use it with a Kobo or another e-reader?
Yes, on devices that run KOReader (Kobo, reMarkable, and Kindles with a jailbreak): install KOReader’s LocalSend plugin, start the receiver and send from the extension over your Wi-Fi. Readers without KOReader, such as Tolino and PocketBook, are not supported directly yet.
What is LocalSend?
LocalSend is an open-source app that sends files directly between devices on the same network. The file goes from your browser to the device, with no cloud in between.
Are images kept when I archive an article?
Yes. Images are resized to a maximum width and compressed, so the article stays readable and small.
Does my archive leave my device?
The archive stays in your browser. Sending to Kindle is the exception: Amazon only accepts documents by e-mail from approved senders, so the article goes through our service for that send. LocalSend and AirDrop go directly to your device.
