The best e-reader to buy right now

theverge.com Sheena Vasani 2025-09-28 04:33:26

Any ebook reader will let you cram a Beauty and the Beast-sized library’s worth of books in your pocket, but so will your phone. An ebook reader offers a more book-like reading experience, with fewer distractions and less eye strain, and many include extra features, like adjustable frontlighting. Some really are pocketable. Others are waterproof or offer physical page-turning buttons, while a few even let you take notes. I’ve been using ebook readers for nearly a decade, and I’ve gone hands-on

Kobo ereaders are swapping out Pocket for Instapaper

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-20 17:06:15

Rakuten and Instapaper have announced a new integration that lets you access saved articles on Kobo ereaders. The new feature replaces a similar one Rakuten used to offer for Pocket users, which it was forced to replace after Mozilla decided to shut down the read-it-later service in May 2025. Instapaper on Kobo devices works nearly identically to the way Pocket did previously. With your Instapaper account linked, you can access any article you've saved to your library. Articles can be downloade

Kobo replaces Pocket with Instapaper on its e-readers in a free update

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-21 05:16:22

A big draw of Kobo e-readers has always been Pocket integration. But, when Mozilla announced in late May that it was shutting down the read-it-later app in July, the Kobo community was left in a bit of a lurch. To the company’s credit, in late July, it announced that it would be replacing Pocket with another stalwart of the scene, Instapaper. And, just a month after that, support is already live and available as a free firmware update for all currently supported Kobo readers (and the list is sur

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR 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 c

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-13 04:30:39

Last month, the company updated its Terms of Service for Kobo Writing Life , its publishing platform, which opened the door to AI features on the platform. With that new contract language going into effect on June 28th, authors seem
