KoboCloud VS awesome-reMarkable

it arrived at home, i configured the syncing following this instructions https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud and all was fine.

If you already have a self-hosted NextCloud instance or you already have a Google or Box account, you can use KoboCloud: https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

How about trying one of these other cloud services if you don’t like Dropbox? https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

However, there is already a tool that downloads epubs from a Dropbox / Gdrive folder https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud I can't say that I've tried it though.

Hi everyone, I'm using a Kobo Clara HD and I was trying to install KoboCloud on my device. I completed every step shown in their github page and the procedure seemed to have succeced, anyway when I tried to connect it via USB my OS (Ubuntu in this case) didn't show the device. Since this thing has already happened to me (and previosly this day the very same USB connection worked just fine) I thought that the Kobo needed a factory reset, but even after that nothing changed. So I started panicking and tried with different cables and OS (I tried Win and a Live version of Ubuntu), I even went for a factory reset with DevModeOn (this restore the firmware version to the first one), same issue. I'm seriously starting to worring now because I rely, for the entirity of my readings, on the imported e-books. If you have any suggestion (whether solving the problem or just bypassing it) you would save my life!! Thank you in advance for your time.

I think KoboCloud will work.

Elipsa, Sage, and Forma have Dropbox synching for sideloading content. You can also add Dropbox and other cloud services to other models via KoboCloud.

I've got a bone stock Kobo Libra H2O and have been using Cloudsync and Google Drive: https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud

https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud I use this to sync with my google drive. So I just drop new book into my google drive and my Kobo will download it automatically. It works for a bunch of online drive like Dropbox etc

You can use KoReader built in Calibre remote push, or you can try https://github.com/fsantini/KoboCloud/pull/35

> As much as I love the hacker spirit of cracking open hardware and software and bending it to your will (whether or not it was designed towards that end), I enjoy my reMarkable precisely because I can get away from the ubiquity of computing and needing to constantly tinker with and repair software.

Personally I completely agree with you, and could have written almost exactly that paragraph - I too have a ReMarkable (the 2nd / current version), and love using it as it ships for both note taking and especially for reading ebooks/PDFs ("especially" just because it's what I use it for more, not because that's what it's better at - in fact, it's UI for reading documents is among its weaker points and I hope they improve it in future software updates).

However it's worth pointing out that you can SSH into it, and there are a fair few 3rd party tools and hacks for it - so far I've avoided trying any of them as there's nothing that I want enough to have even a 1% risk of bricking it to worry about. But I'm tempted to start playing around with it someday.

This is the best list of stuff for the ReMarkable that I'm aware of, though I don't know how complete it is / how many released tools or guides there might be that aren't included here:

https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable

There are options for USB/wifi syncing and lots of other community mods if you're handy with a terminal: https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable

If you follow the instructions and you are fine to turn automatic updates off, you may have a lool at awesome-remarkable https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable

This sentence doesn't make sense. People apply hacks because they want to make full use of their device. reMarkable has shortcomings, yes, but they can be overcome with the software that others have written. The Awesome reMarkable link the sidebar was basically a founding document of this very subreddit.

Use a software to manage your templates automatically. See the Awesome reMarkable list, and Ctrl-F "templates".

You can also take backups using easy, convenient, community-written software, like RCU (which I'm the author of), reMy, reMarkable HyUtilities, rmExplorer, rmAPI, and many others found in the Awesome reMarkable list.

You could try reMy, which has its own renderer. There are more rendering programs in the Awesome reMarkable list, many of which will work with 2.15 and below--just avoid anything saying 'cloud' or 'web UI'.
