vnsee VS plato

The reMarkable, both RM1 and RM2, can totally be used as a second monitor for one's PC.

There is a GitHub project to use Remarkable as a second screen. I have not tried it.

There's https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee if you want to use VNC as a client on your remarkable. I've used it in the past to run Chromium on a server and display it on the reMarkable: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TnNE1tdzvrwphJ8N6

Yes, it still works! I don’t provide any “official” instructions to use it with Windows, but check out this thread where users discussed some ways to get it to work: https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee/issues/13

Yes, see also https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee for the other direction. They don't need Connect. I believe most if not all work with Windows but probably slightly trickier to setup than with Linux.

There is a community VNC client for it. If you're on Windows you'll need a HDMI dummy plug to simulate a second screen with the proper dimensions.

But yes, it works as an external screen. Check out VNSee for this https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee

did you try https://github.com/matteodelabre/vnsee/releases yet?

Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4]

Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

KOReader is nice. There's also Plato[0] for Kobo, which unlike the Kobo Libra 2 stock reader and KOReader didn't choke on an .epub with the entire Bible in one xhtml file.

Good luck! If you don't like it, there are a few other, similar projects, like Plato. That one is focused on speed and simplicity, so it might actually be better suited to your purposes. It was left unmentioned earlier because it's been incredibly buggy for me, but it's there.

plato

I noticed some similarities in the source code to https://github.com/baskerville/plato/

Is there some common source for Kobo-compatable rust code that you both drew from, or was plato the original source?

On the issues page of its github site. Create a new issue with [Feature request] tag in title.

I don’t really know much about Koreader’s reader (I use it mostly as a file manager/sftp server/OPDS client), but I heartily recommend Plato to read manga! It shows the pages full screen with no margins on the top or the bottom. I haven’t tried with kepubs though, I just read my cbz directly, without passing them though kcc.
