# Reading lists (/docs/guides/reading-lists)



A reading list combines feed and newsletter inputs with a schedule and optional delivery devices.
Browser-captured articles can also be added to a specific list from the extension.

## Create a reading list [#create-a-reading-list]

Open **Reading lists** and select **Create reading list**. Complete all three steps.

### 1. Schedule [#1-schedule]

Enter a title and choose:

* **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Fortnightly**, or **Monthly**;
* the local delivery time;
* an IANA time zone, such as `Australia/Sydney`;
* a weekday for weekly and fortnightly lists; or
* a day of the month for monthly lists.

The time zone determines how the schedule behaves through daylight-saving changes. The list detail
page displays the calculated **Next edition** time.

### 2. Sources [#2-sources]

Select at least one public feed or observed newsletter. A newsletter becomes selectable only after
its first message reaches a subscription inbox.

### 3. Delivery [#3-delivery]

Select zero or more devices. With no device selected, every generated EPUB is stored in the library
without external delivery.

> **Screenshot to add — Reading-list wizard:** Capture one image for each of the **Schedule**,
> **Sources**, and **Delivery** steps. Use fictional names, public example feeds, and redacted device
> addresses.

## How new entries are selected [#how-new-entries-are-selected]

Each list keeps its own progress for each source. Its first generated edition includes the latest
existing feed entry or observed newsletter message. Later editions include entries newer than that
list's saved position. A single feed can therefore serve several lists without one list consuming
another's entries.

## Run now [#run-now]

Select **Run now** to queue an edition without changing the recurring schedule. If none of the list's
inputs has a readable new entry, no empty book is sent.

## Pause and resume [#pause-and-resume]

Pause a list to stop scheduled runs. Its configuration, history, and existing EPUBs remain. Resume it
when you want future scheduled editions again.

## Edit a list [#edit-a-list]

You can change its name, schedule, inputs, or devices. Editing destinations affects future delivery;
it does not resend or alter existing library books.

## Archive a list [#archive-a-list]

Archiving removes the list from active scheduling while preserving its books and run history. Use
archive when the configuration may be useful later.

For unexpected run times or empty runs, see [Schedules and reading-list
troubleshooting](/docs/troubleshooting/schedules).
