Everything looks right, except it doesn't work :-(

That's odd -- I don't experience any sync problems with pocket. My Aura HD (3.1.1) syncs with pocket when doing a normal sync, or even when just choosing "articles from pocket" from the "library" menu of the home page if wifi is enabled. There is also a "download all" option in the menu of the "articles" page, but I've never bothered to use it since I always seem to be sync'd anyway.

Nope, all I see is "You have no articles in your archive."

I just installed the iPhone pocket app, and that synced articles straight away from pocket, so things ought to work.

Logged out of pocket on the Aura, logged in again... Nothing.

The Kobo will only download what Pocket considers "articles", so marked webpages that aren't considered by Pocket to be articles won't get downloaded. Easiest way to check is go into your Pocket account via a web browser and filter by type "article". If it doesn't show there it won't show up on the Kobo. Thinks like forums tend not to be Pocket friendly, but there is no blanket way to know what will/won't work that I'm aware of.

have a look here, in case what is in there helps you solve the problem.

Thanks! That was exactly the problem: neither page I'd added were listed as "articles", and so didn't sync. I added another page which does seem to have been considered an article, and I can now see that on the Aura.

Now to work out what Pocket considers an "article"...

A belated follow-up...

I use Reeder 2 on my iPhone to monitor a lot of RSS/Atom feeds. One of its features is that you can send an RSS article to Pocket, and whatever it does to them makes them sync across very nicely to my Aura.

That's quite handy for the longer RSS article that perhaps I might want to preserve or read on a bigger screen.
