## What is it

A couple of scripts that converts .cbz or .cbr comic book files to .pdf of suitable dimensions for reading on a reMarkable Gen 1 or 2. The conversion via `convert_comics.py` is handled by [calibre](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre) in the background and its `ebook-convert` util. Transferring the files via `transfer_files.py` requires a USB-connected reMarkable with the USB file browser enabled in settings.

`config.json` should be set up with defaults that should work out of the box, but make sure they are correct.

## Usage

In a folder containing .cbz- or.cbr-files, run:
```shell
python comic_convert.py
```
to convert all .cbz or .cbr-files in the folder into .pdf in an output-directory called `export`. 

To transfer to the reMarkable, with it connected via USB and with enabled web GUI, run

```shell
python transfer_comics.py
```
