An enormous draw of Kobo e-readers has at all times been Pocket integration. However, when Mozilla introduced in late Might that it was shutting down the read-it-later app in July, the Kobo group was left in a little bit of a lurch. To the corporate’s credit score, in late July, it introduced that it will be replacing Pocket with one other stalwart of the scene, Instapaper. And, only a month after that, support is already live and out there as a free firmware replace for all at the moment supported Kobo readers (and the record is surprisingly long).
In case you’ve been on the hunt for a Pocket alternative forward of all of your information disappearing on October eighth, Instapaper now looks like the clear entrance runner in the event you’re a Kobo person, particularly because you don’t want an Instapaper Premium subscription to take benefit. Hopefully the partnership will show extra fruitful than the one with Mozilla which hadn’t seen any important enhancements in years and was practically killed off in 2023.
