Just enter the rss feed or feeds and how often you’d like to be updated. You can have it send you a new edition every week.

I can see a few good uses for this

  • Use it to view blogs offline. Upload it to your iPhone, or read in the subway or on a flight.
  • Bloggers can offer weekly PDF’d versions of their blogs to readers. This would be beneficial to non-technical readers who are not yet familiar with RSS and newsreaders. It allows readers to easily email and pass around your content. You can use it for a weekly email newsletter that is well formatted and ready to send.
  • Busy executives can have their assistants create them a weekly newsletter of only the most relevant blog posts. It is a good alternative to sending someone a long list of links and is good for those who are technically challenged.

Tabbloid PDF RSS Docs

Check out an example Tabbloid that I generated here. It was made from my Google Reader Shared Items feed.
