Parent article: LWN in EPUB format

Happy to try out that RSS feed to see whether it works, where can I get the link? (I don't find it)

But I have some doubts:
- the RSS integration expect the typical RSS feed where the content is embedded in the feed, I'm not sure it would give a good result with a link to an .epub file
- how would it work for the featured articles if the RSS feed is not tied to my subscription ?

Thanks.

The feed providing the EPUBs is here, and all of our RSS feeds are listed on our syndication page, which admittedly is a little hard to find if you do not already know to go looking for it.

Thank you. But unfortunately those feeds only work if you are logged in and the Readwise servers do not have my cookie obviously.

I get to see this:

Agreed, I have the same issue and some kind of token subscribers could append to the feed url would be great.

So I'm a little confused, I think. The feed should be working just fine. I don't know Readwise, but I take it that it is trying to automatically download the epub files from the feed? I can see how there might be a problem there. So you really want the token for the epub download, not the feed itself?
