Aura One Not Downloading Pocket Articles

Sir Loyne · 04-25-2019, 07:49 PM

I haven't saved anything to Pocket for quite a while, so I can't say how long it's been like this. I'm running the latest firmware on both my Aura One and Glo HD. I added an article to Pocket yesterday and tried to sync, but neither one will download the article. I tried again this morning, just in case it needed more time. No such luck. Is anyone else noticing this? Is it this firmware only? I really don't want to keep going back through firmwares one at a time just to find one that works only to have the reader update as soon as I turn the WiFi on.

In the past I've saved Wikipedia entries to my Pocket and was able to download them to my Kobo. I still have a couple in my articles. I wanted to add another one and neither reader would add it to my list. I tried adding something from a different site, and that went without a problem. I tried a different Wikipedia page, and that worked also. Curious. Then I noticed the address was different for the one that worked and the one that didn't.

The one that worked is... https://en.wikipedia.org
The one that didn't is... https://en.m.wikipedia.org

I added the entry that wouldn't load from my tablet. The ".m" might stand for mobile.

Yep, the .m is the mobile version of the site. Not sure if that specifically causes problems, but usually Pocket not sending articles to a Kobo device is related to how it sees the article: if it sees it as an article all is good, if it doesn't then not so much. Should be a few threads describing the details if you search.

I noted recently on my Kobo Clara HD that if, as Robko says, Pocket can strip out and format a bare-bones article from the mess of a webpage, the transfer goes well to the Kobo, but if it can't -- if Pocket can only offer the article in the original webpage view -- it doesn't transfer AT ALL. In contrast, the Pocket iOS app will fallback to synching the webpage view if it can't extract only an article to synch instead.
