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

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-24 03:16:22

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

Google’s sideloading crackdown could blunt some eReaders’ edge

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-25 02:30:21

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s latest app requirement may soon block the sideloading of apps from unregistered developers. The change could impact readers who rely on sideloaded apps on their Android-based eReaders. The new requirement will begin rolling out in September 2026. Google’s latest app requirement claims to protect users, but feels more like a move for greater control. In accordance with the “developer verification requirement,” developers will need to confirm t

What's happening to reading?

news.ycombinator.com Joshua Rothman 2026-01-10 08:16:48

What do you read, and why? A few decades ago, these weren’t urgent questions. Reading was an unremarkable activity, essentially unchanged since the advent of the modern publishing industry, in the nineteenth century. In a 2017 Shouts & Murmurs titled “Before the Internet,” the writer Emma Rathbone captured the spirit of reading as it used to be: “Before the Internet, you could laze around on a park bench in Chicago reading some Dean Koontz, and that would be a legit thing to do and no one would

Wikipedia cancels plan to test AI summaries after editors skewer the idea

Wikipedia is backing off a plan to test AI article summaries. Earlier this month, the platform announced plans to trial the feature for about 10 percent of mobile web visitors. To say they weren't well-received by editors would be an understatement. The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) then changed plans and cancelled the test. The AI summaries would have appeared at the top of articles for 10 percent of mobile users. Readers would have had to opt in to see them. The AI-generated summaries only appea

Wikipedia pauses AI summaries after editors skewer the idea

Wikipedia is backing off AI article summaries… for now. Earlier this month, the platform trialed the feature in its mobile app. To say they weren't well-received by editors would be an understatement. The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) paused the test a day later. The AI summaries appeared at the top of articles for 10 percent of mobile users. Readers had to opt in to see them. The AI-generated summaries only appeared "on a set of articles" for the two-week trial period. Editor comments in the WMF
