> inability to just SCP a PDF or EPUB to the device

Do they support document delivery through email like Kindle? Recently I showcased[1] 'HN to Kindle' here and someone asked for Remarkable tablet support, But I didn't get an answer regarding email delivery.

Update: A quick search on their website says documents can be emailed out of the device i.e. sharing, But there doesn't seem to be a way to email content to the device.

Yup. That was my main complaint with it, too. I wrote this package to add email uploads:

The rM is a delightful product to hack on.

Thanks for confirming.

So for including support for reMarkable in HN to Kindle, All I need to do is host your project and ask for reMarkable device id from my users?

remailable works by associating their email with a device ID in its own db, so you don't even need to ask users for their device ID as long as you can send emails from a unique email addr. (I can explain more if helpful!)

I also have a public free version hosted at https://remailable.getneutrality.org/ if you prefer not to run one yourself, which you and your users are welcome to use. (it's tricky if you haven't worked with AWS serverless tech previously!)

Thanks again, I'm already using unique email addr just to be safe with Amazon and have prior experience with Lambda.

I'm currently in the process of validating my project and if there's enough need for reMarkable support I'll definitely use your project with due credits + donation(If my project makes any money).
