# Kindle (Scribe) Email Fetch Hack
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a quick-and-dirty python script to log into an IMAP server,
|
||
|
|
monitor incoming messages for the ones that contain the links to the
|
||
|
|
PDFs that you sent from the Kindle scribe. Once such an email is found
|
||
|
|
the pdf linked therein is downloaded to a local directory and the
|
||
|
|
email is deleted. The latest downloaded file is also copied to a
|
||
|
|
preset filename to make it easier to find it. I'm always running
|
||
|
|
`zathura ~/kindle_dump/latest.pdf` to have the latest kindle pdf
|
||
|
|
visible.
|
||
|
|
|
