Kobo has swapped Pocket for Instapaper as its built-in “read it later” service.The change arrives via the latest firmware update (versions 4.38.23429 and 4.43.23418).Rollout is staggered, with some regions seeing the update later than others.After more than a decade of serving as Kobo’s built-in “read it later” service, Pocket is officially out of the picture. In its place, Kobo has rolled out support for Instapaper across its eReader lineup. The change comes via the brand’s latest firmware update, which is already landing on devices. The move isn’t particularly surprising. First, because the integration was announced back in July, but also because Mozilla shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025, with data exports available through October. Kobo needed a replacement, and Instapaper is a natural fit. Like Pocket, it offers stripped-down offline reading and cross-platform sync, though with a more minimalist bent.For anyone new to the platform, Instapaper is a longtime “read-it-later” tool. It lets you stash articles from the web, ditch all the ads and formatting, and circle back later in a clean, minimalist reading view, even when you’re offline. Unlike Kindle devices, which rely on Send to Kindle or Instapaper’s premium “send” feature to shuttle web content onto the page, Kobo bakes Instapaper right into the eReader itself. This native integration makes the process a lot smoother. Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?
