Inkpost

A browser extension that turns the article you’re reading into a clean EPUB book, with images prepared for e‑ink, and sends it to your PocketBook e‑reader in one click.

Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store

How it works

Open an article and click the extension icon or press Alt+Shift+P.
Send it. Click the send button in the menu that opens. The book is built right in your browser and emailed from your Gmail to your Send‑to‑PocketBook address. It shows up on the reader after the next sync.

From the same menu you can just download the EPUB, or open the preview to remove the blocks you don’t need and fix the title or author.

What ends up in the book

Just the article Menus, ads, comments and pop‑ups are left out.
Images made for e‑ink Converted to grayscale and scaled to the screen. Size, quality and grayscale are up to you.
Lazy images too Pictures that load as you scroll and responsive images are picked up.
A real cover Site, title, author and date, so articles don’t all look alike in your library.
Contents and source A table of contents and a link back to the original page.
Videos, posts, formulas Videos and social posts become links; formulas are kept as TeX.

What you need

A PocketBook e‑reader with a Send‑to‑PocketBook address (…@pbsync.com). On the reader it’s under Settings → Accounts and Synchronization → Send‑to‑PocketBook.
A Google account with Gmail: books are sent from your own mailbox.
Google Chrome or another Chromium‑based browser. Tested in Chrome and Brave.

Setup takes a minute

Open the extension’s settings and enter your Send‑to‑PocketBook address.
Click Sign in with Google and allow the extension to send email.
Click Test send. PocketBook will send you a message about an unknown sender: click add to whitelist in it, otherwise PocketBook silently drops emails from your Gmail address.

Why the extension asks for access to your Google account

Books are sent from your own Gmail, so the extension asks Google for two permissions:

Send email on your behalf gmail.send: Used only to send the book you chose to the Send‑to‑PocketBook address you entered. The extension cannot read, search, change or delete your email.
See your email address userinfo.email: Used to show which account is connected and to renew access without asking you again.

You can sign out in the extension’s settings at any time or revoke access in your Google Account.

Inkpost’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Privacy in short

Articles are processed in your browser. There is no server of ours in between.
No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Nothing is sold.
The book goes only to Google, which sends the email, and to PocketBook, which delivers it to your reader.
