Thank you for sharing all of this. I have not tried your script directly yet but it has been really interesting to read because I'm working on my own project to do with improving Pocket's awful article parsing and broken images.
I'm building my own self-hosted "pre-processor" that can re-format articles to make them easier for pocket's servers to parse and reduce instances of missing paragraphs / sections and images. I kept hitting the missing images problem though, and googling for it brought me here. Very glad to hear that the issue is solvable by converting image formats into jpegs.
I saw your other forum post where you found that pocket have an image proxy service that they use in certain situations to convert PNGs to JPEGs via pocket-image-cache.com. I think I might have a go at re-routing article image URLs to use their converter.
Many thanks again for the useful pointer!
(My code is a bit too early stage and too customised to my setup to share yet but I might follow up if there's any interest.)
