Kobo (ereader) + Pocket was always just an amazing and low friction combo. This blows.

I used this a lot, and had a tool specifically to replace it with another service. I see others created a fork too. https://github.com/Podginator/KoboOmnivoreConverter

They'll probably remove it now, and I am devastated about that, because I still use it pretty often with my Self-Hosted Omnivore.

I might see if I can find a way to prevent updates in the future. Or hopefully they just hide the Menu Option and keep the code intact so that I can use KoboMenu to re-enable it.

If anyone from Kobo is reading, please just hide it - don't remove all the code - thanks.
