and again :) how to read the Geminispace on e-ink device?

I definitively don't understand how to connect this device to desktop and which software (browser) to compile there (maybe linux/arm)

What kind of e-ink device do you have?

👻 ps [OP] · 2025-10-10 at 19:40:

PocketBook Pro 602

From a quick search, it seems that you can get KoReader running on that, and then just install Linux packages from the terminal. Search for how to install KoReader.

koreader have a plugin to read geminispace capsules

Yes, if you can get koreader on it you should be able to use gemini://gemini.thegonz.net/gemini.koplugin/ (also available in koreader-contrib). It is also possible to cross-compile some simple terminal clients, but if you only have an on-screen keyboard they're not so great to use. Hopefully the plugin is better.

Thanks guys, seems I can't launch it, maybe my device is not supported:

Finally, I give up with KoReader:

Instead of that, I'm using gemini-dl to download the capsule:

— https://github.com/YGGverse/gemini-dl

Then, converting files with this command:

find /path/to/directory -type f -name "*.gmi" -exec bash -c 'mv "$0" "${0%.gmi}.txt"' {} \;

And here is my personal experience porting KoReader on the PocketBook 602 Pro:
