How to Transfer EPUB Files to reMarkable Paper Pro
Method 1 — reMarkable Desktop App (Recommended)
- Download and install the reMarkable desktop app for Mac or Windows from remarkable.com.
- Sign in with your reMarkable account.
- Drag your EPUB file into the app window (or click the + button and Import).
- The EPUB syncs wirelessly to your Paper Pro within seconds (requires Wi-Fi on the device).
- On the Paper Pro, open the file from My files → the Reading app opens automatically.
Method 2 — reMarkable Mobile App
- Open the reMarkable app on your iPhone or Android phone.
- Tap the + button → Import → Files (or choose from your phone's storage).
- Select the EPUB file. It uploads to reMarkable Cloud and syncs to your Paper Pro.
Method 3 — USB-C Transfer
- Connect your Paper Pro to your computer via USB-C.
- The device appears as a USB storage drive (enable in Settings → Storage if needed).
- Drag EPUB files to the root directory of the reMarkable drive.
- Eject safely. Files appear in My files on the device.
Reading Settings for reMarkable Paper Pro
Open an EPUB in the Reading app and tap the Aa icon in the top toolbar to access reading settings:
- Font: Choose from a curated set including Tiempos Text, EB Garamond, and sans-serif options.
- Font size: Adjust with the slider — useful for long reading sessions with smaller text.
- Line spacing and margins: Increase for more comfortable scanning of dense academic text.
- Colour mode: On Paper Pro, toggle between monochrome (sharper, faster refresh) and colour mode for documents with coloured figures or highlights.
Converting PDF to EPUB for reMarkable Paper Pro
reMarkable Paper Pro handles PDFs natively with full stylus annotation support. For long documents where you want searchable, reflowable text rather than handwriting-annotatable pages, convert to EPUB with toolkit.bot.
- Go to toolkit.bot and upload your PDF.
- Click Convert. Download the EPUB.
- Import via the desktop app, mobile app, or USB-C.
Tip: For academic papers where you want stylus margin notes, keep the original PDF — reMarkable's PDF annotation is superior to EPUB annotation for handwriting. Use EPUB for long-form reading where text reflow matters more than handwritten notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does reMarkable Paper Pro support EPUB?
- Yes. reMarkable Paper Pro supports EPUB natively via the built-in Reading app (available since firmware 3.0 across all reMarkable devices). You can send EPUB files via the reMarkable desktop app, mobile app, or USB cable. The Reading app supports adjustable font, size, and margins.
- What is new in reMarkable Paper Pro compared to reMarkable 2?
- reMarkable Paper Pro (released 2024) features a colour E Ink display (Kaleido 3, 229 ppi monochrome / 115 ppi colour), a faster processor, improved stylus latency, a Type Folio keyboard accessory, and the same paper-like writing feel. reMarkable 2 remains monochrome. Both support EPUB natively via the same Reading app firmware.
- How do I send EPUB files to reMarkable Paper Pro?
- Three methods: (1) reMarkable desktop app (Mac/Windows) — drag EPUB files into the app and they sync wirelessly. (2) reMarkable mobile app (iOS/Android) — tap the + button, select Import, and choose your EPUB file. (3) USB-C cable — connect to your computer; the Paper Pro appears as a USB drive; drag EPUBs to the root folder.
- Can I annotate EPUB files on reMarkable Paper Pro?
- Yes, with limitations. The Reading app supports typed highlights (tap and drag to select text) and typed notes pinned to paragraphs. Handwritten stylus annotation directly on EPUB pages is not available in the standard Reading app — for handwritten notes alongside text, many users convert EPUBs to PDF first, then annotate in PDF mode.
- How do I convert a PDF to EPUB for reMarkable Paper Pro?
- Upload the PDF to toolkit.bot, click Convert, download the EPUB, then import it via the reMarkable desktop or mobile app. Alternatively, reMarkable handles PDFs natively and allows full stylus annotation in PDF mode — so for academic papers where you want to write margin notes, PDF mode may be preferable.
