I bought an e-reader called reMarkable [0] that I use every day to read technical stuff on it.
At some point, I got tired of the process to sync files: download the document from the browser, open the reMarkable app and drag the file into it.
I automated this workflow, and now I can just "print" directly to the device [1] the article/document I'm reading.

- johnchristopher 8y agoI have a kobo and my intentions was to throw getpocket articles at it but I have hundreds of articles and the kobo barely manages it (and it's too slow, when it doesn't crash and needs a hard reset). Is the remarkable better in that regard ?
- sdwisely 8y agotried calibre (foss ebook management software with kobo support) and the pocket plugin? I believe it converts them to epub rather than using the built in Kobo pocket app.
- bichiliad 8y agoOff-topic: do you like your reMarkable? In particular, how's writing on it?
- foolano 8y agoI love it. I use it heavily every day. The hardware is awesome, the software is not quite there yet but they keep shipping updates so I'm hopeful it'll get there at some point. I do not write that often on it though. I usually solve math problems on it and also comment on PDF docs. All in all, I'd buy it again :)
- ACS_Solver 8y agoI wonder if that's easy to adapt to Linux? I get around the same issue by emailing files to the reMarkable [0] but that's a solution that relies on having your own email server and is therefore less user-friendly than what you do, though it works great for my use case.

- gitgud 8y agoRemarkable is a Markdown viewer right? So basically you open a HTML webpage in remarkable? Is that so you can modify the source?
- Crespyl 8y agoThere may be a markdown tool by that name, but in this case it's a specific brand of e-ink tablet that includes a stylus for drawing on the documents/note-taking/etc. IIRC it supports PDF and presumably other ebook formats, but I wouldn't expect it to have any special tool for viewing markdown.
- gitgud 8y agoI see now, my mistake
