In your opinion, I presume you meant to add. I use Pocket daily and love it. I have no issue with it skipping parts of pages either. You must be trying to 'pocket' really weird articles, which might explain your issue with privacy. I personally don't mind Pocket having the articles I want to read in their database, they send them to my Kobo and make reading fun!
I don't understand why you think Pocket is only useful if you don't have a laptop or PC. I much prefer to read the articles on my ereader than on my laptop or tablet LCD screen.
I agree with all three points davidfor makes above.
Anyway, that's all off topic.

I don't think there's a way to see the original article from the Articles section in Kobo, unless the link is in the article. Kobo will ask you if you want to follow any link you select (in the browser), or add the link to your Pocket as an article (quite neat I think). If I need to for some reason (up till now only to grab the URL to share), I favourite the article so that it's easy to find from my tablet or laptop (favouriting might not be necessary if you don't have such a ridiculous article reading backlog as I do).
