Here is some basic knowledge on how to use Pocket for Kobo users. I'm new to Pocket myself, so there might be errors. This text is in the public domain, so feel free to do whatever you like.
HOW TO GET STARTET:
- On your Kobo, click on 'Library' and then click on 'Articles from Pocket'
- Follow the instructions on how to set up your Pocket account.
HOW TO ADD WEB ARTICLES TO POCKET:
Not all web pages will work - some articles will simply just not show up on your Kobo.
Here is an URL that works:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_colors
There is loads of ways to get an article into Pocket. If you are browsing the web on your smartphone or tablet, you can install an app which will let you quickly import URLS to pocket. (On my HTC Android, I just clicks on 'share page' and then 'Add to Pocket')
Are you on a PC/Mac, you can use a browser extension.
You can also just mail the URL to
add@getpocket.com -- let the subject field be empty, and paste the URL into the Body (only a single URL at the time)
On your account on
http://getpocket.com you can click on "Save a URL" and paste the URL into the input field.
This page let you import multiple urls from Instapaper:

Delicious Bookmarks can also be imported:

HOW TO UNDERSTAND CONTENT CATEGORIES:
The web URLS that you add to your Pocket account will automatically be sorted into one of 4 content categories:
- ARTICLES
- VIDEOS
- IMAGES
- [OTHER]
ARTICLES are the only content that will show up on you e-Ink reader. So use this filter to ensure that the content will be viewable on your Kobo.
On getpocket.com you can click the Content Filter pull-down menu to see which of above category the content fits into. You cannot filter the [OTHER] category, which covers web pages that Pocket don't recognize as any of the other three, such as forum threads or RSS feeds. (I invented the name [OTHER] myself)
HOW TO USE TAGS:
On getpocket.com you can assign tags to your collection of articles. It is not possible to see the tags on your Kobo. Still, it might help you get a better overview on getpocket.com
HOW TO USE SECTIONS:
Each of your articles can be placed in one of 3 sections:
- HOME/POCKET
- FAVORITES
- ARCHIVE
Newly added articles will appear in the HOME section.
Articles in the FAVORITES section will still appear in their original section, being it HOME or ARCHIVE.
HOW TO REMOVE ARTICLES FROM YOUR KOBO:
In the Pocket settings on your Kobo reader, you can let articles in the ARCHIVE folder be automatically removed from Kobo. Removed articles will NOT be deleted from your Pocket account. Also, even if their data is deleted from Kobo, their icon stay, so you can download them later.
You can also manually remove articles from Kobo by holding your finger down and select "Remove from eReader".
