  I will check them both, thank you. I don’t think my device supports koreader, but maybe I can read directly from the browser.

  I really wanted to like Wallabag. What held me back was the high percentage of pages it failed to scrape. So this is one area where I decided not to self-host.

    I understand it can be annoying but when it does I temporarily host a text version of the article on my website and save it from there

  Have you tried koreader?

    Yes I use it and it works ok for me. Maybe Kobo will consider official support for Wallabag now that Pocket is discontinued.

      I see hints that they may replace it with Readwise.

  I've been using Wallabag for a few years now and really like it. (It's the one thing I'm not selfhosting, though -- I've been using their hosted service. But it should run on a raspberry pi with no problems.)

  You can also export to epub, but you have to do that manually. OP, does your ereader run android? There are wallabag apps available, which are nice because they usually work offline after downloading articles from your wallabag server.

    It’s a tolino vision 2. Technically, it runs android 4 under the hood, but I would need to tinker with it via adb to run something else, and the small storage space available makes this not so appealing. I’d prefer to leave the complexity to the server and do the reading inside the browser in the ereader.

      Gotcha. The web UI in wallabag is nice and works pretty well with ereaders. It's already black-and-white, although it doesn't have pagination, so you'll have to scroll.
