Option: Direct subscribers to third parties
Options include:
- Instapaper + IFTTT (supports iOS, Kindle and Android)
- Readability (supports iOS, Kindle and Android, but all articles must be sent manually, no automatic delivery)
- Kindlefeeder (supports Kindle only)
Pros:
- Little to no time investment; subscribers manage themselves, and no need to add extra conversion steps to publishing workflow
Cons
- Complete loss of "branded experience"; can feel hacky and/or require extra work on the part of the subscriber
- Impossible to monetize
- Small third-party services often have suboptimal reliability and/or unsustainable business models
