I had almost forgot about Pocket. I used the Read It Later app heavily a couple of years back now I believe. If I remember correctly I upgraded to the RIL pro version of said app.
As for using Pocket on my Aura HD when the update comes down the pike. Not too sure if I will. When this was announced I remembered the Pocket account and went looking for the site to see if I could access said account and see what if any articles was still there. Luckily Chrome has been my preferred browser so the credentials were saved in there because I no idea at all what they were, it's seriously been that long.
While I can understand those who read fanfic, not knocking it as I read it as well, who will use Pocket to import into their reader I too wondered if they didn't have Calibre. Because the fanfiction downloader plugin would download and convert to ebook for them, I've used it and it works better than I thought it would. But then Pocket will save any webpage to your account and is not restricted to certain major fanfiction domains to work.
But I digress. As I said I probably wouldn't use it because I have my Pocket importing into Flipboard on my tablets so I doubt I'll use Kobo integration unless it is recorded as being quick and flawless. Also depends on whether you can download entire articles to your reader then disconnect wifi to avoid having to leave your wifi on the entire time you use it.
I don't put on wifi on my readers (or tablet for that matter) unless I particularly need to do so for the likes of downloading/synching books etc. I find it saves on the battery long term.
Anyway its nice to have options. Not everyone is lucky enough to have tablets, pcs, laptops and other goodies and maybe the only way they could use Pocket would be through Kobo for reading their saved articles.
One thing I loved on Pocket was the ability to save/send an article which caught my eye, but I didn't have time to read then, until later when I had time. I loose count of the times I remember seeing something of interest but when I go back to find it cant find it at all. So Pocket is a handy service. I've actually installed the Chrome browser add on to allow me to send to Pocket anything I want to read in depth later on. So even if I don't necessarily use Pocket on my Kobo I will be using Pocket more often regardless.
