get articles from read-later platform pocket to the remarkable paper tablet

pocket2rm

pocket2rm is a tool to get articles from read-later platform pocket on the reMarkable paper tablet.

• retrieve URLs for articles from pocket (last 10)
• PDFs are downloaded directly, webpages are converted to a readable format and converted to epub
• runs on reMarkable directly, does not use reMarkable cloud.
• sync is user-triggered (removing synchronization file)

Prerequisites

• SSH connection with remarkable: https://remarkablewiki.com/tech/ssh
• golang: https://golang.org/
• scp
• browser (necessary for OAuth2)

Installation

• create a pocket application: https://getpocket.com/developer/apps/new to obtain a consumerKey. The application only needs the 'Retrieve' permission.

• clone or download this repository

• run:

./install.sh

Remarkable software updates

After a reMarkable software update, you will need to rerun the install script:

./install.sh

Reinstall

If for some reason you need/want to reinstall pocket2rm completely :

• remove the file $HOME/.pocket2rm
• remove the folder called pocket on your remarkable
• run:

./install.sh

Improvements

• input consumerKey in popup (removes commandline run)
• provide binaries
• images in epubs
• improve repo structure (duplicate utils, dependencies)

Non-goals

• support other read-later services / e-reader targets

Alternatives:

• there is google-chrome plugin which sends articles to reMarkable
• reMarkable is planning to release an offical chrome plugin
