My use case for Pocket is completely different from the author’s.

I use it every day to get web content onto a Kobo ereader. It strips ads and often gets stuff behind paywalls.

My family shares the same pocket account and we often end up discussing things that get synced to all the kobos in the house.

This functionality is so useful and seems like a well kept secret. If it went away I’d really be upset.

Firefox is breaking Kobo functionality in August.

Kobo can potentially fix it, but the short notice and breaking important functionality in one of their revenue generating products/services adds to my pessimism about Mozilla’s leadership, which is already very pessimistic.

Another example, look how much better Thunderbird is doing outside of Mozilla. Donations have more than doubled, but the product has a user centered roadmap, so imagine that. https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/05/thunderbird-is-thriving...

someone from Mozilla and Kobo should be reading this - you just came up with a reason to use Pocket which is the whole thing they were missing.

I used it to read articles offline on my iPad. It worked maybe 50% of the time. Now I use instapaper.

Same here with Onyx.

FWIW, my principle use of Pocket is on an Onyx BOOX device.

I love ereading my Pocket articles in colour!
