        My Kobo has the Pocket app and I’ll miss being able to send articles to it. Apparently I’ll be one of the few to be sad to see Pocket go.

          Somebody suggested Wallabag which can also be self-hosted and is available on Kobo.

            I found these instructions on how to install KoReader and use Wallabag. It looks like a real pain in the ass. I hope Rakuten does something, because I’m not doing that unless I absolutely have to.

              You could consider sending feedback to kobo devs. They could make the install process simpler.

                I just saw a thread about Digg buying Pocket from Mozilla, so I don’t think I’ll need to mess with that now.
