pocket2rm

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

• retrieve URLs for articles from pocket
• PDFs are downloaded directly
• webpages are converted to a readable format and converted to epub
• folder with PDFs and epubs can be synced using the reMarkable desktop application

Getting started

• create a pocket application: https://getpocket.com/developer/apps/new to obtain a consumerKey. The application only needs the 'Retrieve' permission.
• run go run pocket2rm setup:
  • interactive prompt asks for consumerKey
  • pocket user is redirected to pocket page to accept application
  • after confirmation in prompt, the consumerKey and accessToken are written to .pocket2mr
• run go run pocket2rm.go

Improvements

• extend with automatic push to reMarkable using this library
• process articles concurrently for higher throughput
• check which articles are already retrieved

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
