I use Pocket on my Kobo e-Reader. How does this change affect how I log in to Pocket?
Kobo is aiming to update the Pocket login on their eReaders to support Firefox accounts. The exact timing is to be determined, however Pocket's existing Kobo users will not be affected, nor lose access to their accounts. Note that new Pocket accounts created after August 15th may not have access to the existing Pocket login option, depending on when Kobo support becomes available. Kobo users can also continue to use Pocket on their iOS or Android device or use Pocket’s website.

I assume Kobo is at least partly responsible for the change of position. It's good news anyway.
