You don't need to bother with archaic email, just click "save to pocket" on your PC or smart phone browser and anything displayed on a browser (Web articles, newspaper articles, short stories, fan fic, etc will show up on your Pocket account on your Kobo reader.
On the other hand, being able to email books and having those books sync across reading devices is a big plus for the Kindle.
If I'm not mistaken, things will only show up on your Kobo if Pocket considers them "articles". With my Kindle, I can send literally any web page to my Kindle using the SendToKindle add-on for Firefox, no email needed. I do this sometimes for forum discussions or blog posts that I want to read later. Can Pocket do that?
