HN to E-Book – Read HN on your E-Reader

I read HN on my kindle as I find it useful for reading under sun(while walking in a controlled environment) and taking notes. I was running hntokindle.com to offer this as a service for others. But Amazon has recently made sending bulk emails to the Kindle impossible by requiring 2FA over registered Amazon email address for each item sent to the Kindle. Hence I've stripped down HN to Kindle code to enable local transfer to any e-book reader which supports .mobi format and made the project open-source.

In plain words

HN to E-Book converts Hacker News articles into e-book format (.mobi) for reading on e-readers like Kindles. The open-source tool lets users download and transfer HN content locally to their devices, making it easier to read stories in sunlight and add notes. It was created after Amazon's security changes made automated Kindle email delivery impractical.
