That's an impressive reply.

To summarise :

Me :*Pocket articles have tiny fonts compared to epubs. Is there a way to fix the issue ?

You :*Instead of clicking on the pocket button in your browser, select the webpage, launch LibreOffice, paste the content. Hope that the copy/paste makes something readable. Save as a docx (!). Launch calibre. Import the docx in Calibre. Now convert it to epub. Plug your Kobo in your computer. Sync your calibre library with the Kobo. Unplug. Voilą ! No need for Pocket.


If it is a parody of « rejecting the fault of a bug on the user », it's quite good.


PS: if you are concerned about privacy in Pocket, I recommend you to try Wallabag, that you can install on your own server.
