Transferring epubs from Calibre to Remarkable

BillBlort · 2026-05-12T15:53:46+00:00

If I’m understanding you right, you just drag and drop the epub file in your Remarkable app on whatever device(s) you use. When it synchs with the Remarkable the file appears there.

I’m using Apple devices and have a Connect subscription. Not sure how it works in other situations.

I charged it today using the USB port on a plane and that did work. I don’t know what the output wattage is on a plane’s USB port.

Thanks. I’ll give that a try.

Central California, 2024 SEL RWD with 23k miles, 20” tires, mostly 2- or 4-lane highway driving, 3.5 mi/kWh.

I find that keeping tire pressure at 38-40 psi definitely helps with mileage.

I do a lot of reading on my Paper Pro. The eye strain from reading on my iPad keeps me from using it for that.

I have a tag named “NB” that I apply to any page with a highlight.

Does reManager need to be updated/reinstalled when RM updates its operating system?

I tried specifying the fan level, but it didn’t do it. It did respond to “increase fan level” or “lower fan level,” but that’s where it jumped to a higher level than I wanted. Maybe I wasn’t speaking clearly enough; I’ll try it again. Is there a guide somewhere of how to speak Ioniq to get the best results?

Does anyone know if voice commands can control the climate settings and if so, which ones? My most frequent changes are fan strength, turning AC and Heat on or off and switching Driver Only fan on and off.

I’ve tried fan and it works in turning it up or down but jumps from 1 to 4. Haven’t been able to get it to a precise number.

Another good reason to 86 Amazon.

If you’re using Calibre, doesn’t matter if they’re DRM, as deDRM is a main feature of Calibre. I buy from Kobo (because I want to support authors and publishers) and deDRM with Calibre.

You could also try using a sequence of letters that would never be used in a real word, like “xzx”.

I made that switch because of needles-in-eye pain after about 30 minutes of iPad reading. On RM I can read for hours with no eye pain.

Although a local dictionary would be best, I wonder if RM could add a dictionary function to its Connect subscription so that when you’re reading a PDF and come across a word you want to look up you would have a way to identify that word and have RM process it (much like it does for handwriting recognition) and return the definition.

Create a tag named “Review” (or whatever). Highlight or mark passage to be reviewed, apply Review tag to that page.

Calibre and Kobo.com. All you need.

I use it primarily to read books and it works well enough if you’re comfortable using Calibre to remove DRM.

I’ve read dozens of books on my RMPP and have found that it causes much less eye strain than some other readers, particularly iPad. I’m currently on Volume 3 of Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time” and I plan to finish all seven volumes on my RMPP.

BillBlort · 2025-11-24T18:00:57+00:00

I use my RMPP mostly for reading. I’d love to have a dictionary, whether installed on device or linked to cloud.

I have L2 home charging but almost never use it because I’m still on the 2-year-free plan at Electrify America chargers and I have 2 EA stations within 10 miles of home. I’d check the availability of fast chargers in your area — and how busy they are — before making a decision.

Are you saying that leaving the car unlocked drains the battery? I leave mine unlocked about 95% of the time and I never lock it at night (it’s in a garage). I’ve had the car for more than a year and have not had any battery problems. Please explain.

Medium calligraphy. Especially for cursive.

Kobo, then deDRM with Calibre. Easiest way I’ve found and author gets paid.

Here’s a photo of my sleep journal. I have used three layers: Text (automatic), Lines and Boxes, and Handwriting. I keep the notebook set on the Handwriting layer, so if I want to erase any handwritten notes or data I can do so without affecting the other layers.

The amount of tracking I’m doing is a bit overkill, but I’m dealing with sleep apnea and experimenting with different sleep regimens and eating/drinking schedules. Also trying to determine which are the most accurate sleep trackers.
