Touch Pocket usage

il_mix · 12-11-2013, 08:24 AM

Hi everyone,

I've just upgraded my Kobo Touch with firmware 3.1.0 (I had 2.6.1, if I remember well)
First news I've seen is the Pocket integration. Never heard about this service, but it looks nice, since I can read some interesting web pages on my Kobo offline and without the pain of searching them with Kobo browser.

I made this two simple test:
1) save an article with Firefox on my PC -> sync Kobo: the article is not visible in Kobo Poket articles, but it is via Pocket web (ex with Firefox).
2) save an article from Kobo browser: the article is visible both in Kobo Pocket articles and Pocket web.

Why the (1) doesn't work? Am I doing something wrong?
Note that I've made several sync (via Kobo menu) and Refresh (via Pocket settings), but the article won't appear in the list.

Thanks
MIX

Pocket saves stuff in different manners depending on how they analyze it. Kobo ONLY handles what Pocket has classified as Articles.

On the Pocket web site, one of the icons on the top left lets you filter by classification. One option there is Arricle. Only items shown there will be synced.

Indeed, the page I saved wasn't an article.
Step 2: Is there a way to set the "article" type?

Nope.... However you CAN let Pocket know of stuff not being handled correctly so they can adjust things.
