Well, crap. I've had a Pocket account for more than ten years. It's a key feature on my Kobo devices, to boot.

I hope Kobo manages to find some alternative provider for similar functionality, rather than just dropping it altogether.

EDIT: Oh, and worth noting that this product will officially die before Mozilla fulfills its promise to open source it, back when they acquired Pocket. Thanks, guys.

Pocket has pretty much exclusively been a, “send article to Kobo” button for me thanks to the integration.

I doubt my now-ancient Aura One will be getting a firmware update to replace Pocket, unfortunately. Might be time to either look at alternative firmwares or see if Rakuten does trade-ins on newer models.
