Kobo has officially launched Instapaper support on their e-reading devices, which is finally settling hundreds of questions left in the minds of the users due to the winding up of Pocket by Mozilla earlier in the year. The update comes just in time, as Pocket data will be wiped on the 8th of October. To a large number of Kobo owners Pocket had been a significant offline article saving and reading feature, and its disappearance created a glaring vacuum.
Instapaper is now easy to switch to with a free update of the firmware, which is available on a big variety of Kobo devices. In comparison with the declining popularity of Pocket over the recent years, Instapaper is still a lively site and does not demand a paid subscription as the basic tool. Kobo believes that the new collaboration can add a new dimension and stability to the e-reader experience.
One of the most trustworthy read-it-later services, which provides offline access, clean reading, and syncing across the devices, has been Instapaper. It is stable and simple, so it is a natural successor to Pocket, and Kobo users will not lose the functionality that they have been relying on over the years.
The update can already be downloaded, and it can be installed easily. After installation, a reader will be able to access their Instapaper accounts and proceed to save and read articles on their Kobo devices. This action has made sure that the Kobo ecosystem is not left incomplete so far as users desire to access both books and articles under a single platform.
