Unsupported device error: "Device is reMarkable Prototype 1"

Oh thanks for reporting this!
Currently rmview detects the device type by looking in /sys/devices/soc0/machine but since the values found there are undocumented, we rely on this kinds of reports to get the check right.

To solve your immediate problem, you can change line 235 of rmview.py to:

version = re.fullmatch(r"reMarkable(?: Prototype)? (\d+)(\.\d+)*\n", rmv)

and see if it works then.
If you confirm this works I'll push a fix.

Yes, thank you so much, it does work. What a superb tool!

Just FYI I opened rmview.py in notepad++ and the line I had to change was 229 - not sure why different tools have different line numbers but it worked nevertheless.

Thanks again!

(line number discrepancy was my mistake)
