x-to-kindle
Send X/Twitter posts to Kindle for distraction-free reading. Use when user shares an X/Twitter link and wants to read it on Kindle, or asks to send a tweet/thread to their Kindle device.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brianlu365ai/x-to-kindleWhat This Skill Does
The x-to-kindle skill is an automated workflow tool designed to bridge the gap between fast-paced X/Twitter threads and distraction-free reading environments. By leveraging the fxtwitter API, this skill extracts text, metadata, and handles from public posts, converts them into properly formatted HTML files, and delivers them directly to your Amazon Kindle library via SMTP. It bypasses the scrolling fatigue of social media, allowing you to curate deep-read content for your e-reader.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brianlu365ai/x-to-kindle
Post-installation, you must configure your credentials by adding your SMTP settings (Gmail app password, host, and port) and your personal Kindle email address to your environment variables or your local .env file. Proper configuration ensures that the service can authenticate with Amazon's servers, which strictly require authorized senders to prevent spam.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for power users who follow industry thought leaders, researchers tracking academic debates on X, or individuals who want to curate long-form "mega-threads" for offline consumption. It is particularly useful for weekend reading sessions where you prefer to disconnect from notification-heavy apps and engage with content on an E-ink display.
Example Prompts
- "Send this thread to my Kindle: [link]"
- "I don't have time to read this right now, can you put this post on my Kindle?"
- "Convert the following tweet to a Kindle document: [link]"
Tips & Limitations
- Safety Note: Ensure your Kindle email address is authorized in your Amazon account settings under 'Manage Your Content and Devices' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Personal Document Settings'. If the sender address is not on your 'Approved Personal Document E-mail List', Amazon will reject the email.
- Formatting: While the skill creates a clean HTML template, images embedded within tweets may not always render perfectly on older e-ink hardware; focus on text-heavy content for the best results.
- Network: This skill relies on the availability of the fxtwitter API; ensure your internet connection is active during the execution phase.
