This will cause some trouble if I would like to pass my Kobo Aura One to my kids to see some articles in POCKET yet do not want them to purchase any ebooks online.

Is there a solution for such scenario or request?

If this request has been made before, can someone guide me to the solution?
For the record, I believe this is deliberate. The idea of the Parental Controls is to block access to the net. Pocket is considered as such. If it was available, it would be possible to add something to someones Pocket account and have it appear on the device. That could be considered bad. At the moment, the only place it talks to is the Kobo servers to sync books. And you don't really think they were going to block that do you?
