Today I learned that you can email your Kindle files to read them using the paperwhite display. I'm attempting to read RFCs, so after reading 1/4 of the way through RFC6479 (on OAuth2.0), I realized that it might be easier to read on my Kindle instead of on my computer screen. Out of this, rfcToKindle.go was born. I'm not sure if I'd like to publish this or not. |

rfcToKindle
Wirelessly transfer RFC documents to your Kindle to device for an alternative medium for reading.
Installation
rfcToKindle makes use of buildGo.nix to package itself. If you're
using Nix, you can install rfcToKindle using nix-env:
> nix-env -f https://github.com/wpcarro/rfcToKindle -i
Usage
> rfcToKindle -document rfc6479 -recipient username@kindle.com
Dependencies
This uses sendgmr to send the file to the Kindle. Make sure:
- That
sendgmris installed and available on $PATH. - That it is configured to work with your preferred email address.
- That the email address
sendgmris configured to use is whitelisted in your Kindle "Personal Document Settings".
