  • Currently testing out Shiori. I have tried both it and Readeck on my Raspberry Pi 3B running 32-bit Raspbian ‘Bullseye’. From an installation and performance perspective, Shiori is easier: 32-bit binaries are available and its web interface is a bit more responsive. If you are not running a 64-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS, you have to build Readeck yourself (which I successfully did).

    The main attraction of Shiori over Readeck is that it has both a readable and archive view. The main downside for me is it lacks the read/unread feature of Readeck and Pocket (although that’s apparently something planned for future and in the meantime, it’s possible to workaround using tags).

    Both have a browser extension to enable capturing pages that contain Javascript and do not gracefully degrade. Both also have an export-to-ebook function that may suit your e-reader.

    Bottom line: if you have an RPi4 or later, then Readeck is probably want you want. If you’re running an older Pi, though, Shiori may be a better option.
