How to use Instapaper on Kobo to save and read online articles
When Pocket closed its doors earlier this year, it was more difficult than just people who wanted to save items more easily. Kobo users could no longer read items directly on the Internet on their readers – a devastating decision for so many readers like me.
Kobo recently announced that he would replace Pocket by Instapaper, a minimalist and elegant service as well as Pocket which offers both a free plan as well as a paid premium subscription option, avoiding us to have to read articles the second we see them. And, Thursday, this update came to users.
“At Kobo, our passion is a better reading for everyone, everywhere. And now, with the addition of the excellent Instapaper functionality” Read it later “, we have a perfect long reading solution that you find on the web,” said Michael Tamblyn, CEO of Rakuten Kobo in a press release. “When Pocket Sunset unexpectedly, we knew that we had to find a new way for our readers to dive into their favorite web articles directly on their Kobo. The partnership with Instapaper was a dream, the team was excellent for working, and we are delighted to offer this integration so that readers can continue to enjoy their long -term content, without distraction, on their Kobo Ereder.”

Here’s how to download items directly from the Internet on your Kobo with Instapaper.
Where to get free electronic books: charge your electronic reader without spending a penny
Step 1: Access “My articles”
Click on the Hamburger menu entitled “Plus” at the bottom right of your Kobo and click on “My articles”.
Step 2: Link with Instapaper
Once you have clicked on “My articles”, you will be welcomed with a page that can be read: “Read items on your reader with Instapaper.” “Find something you want to display later? Record it in Instapaper and take advantage of your Kobo Ereader, Telephone, Tablet and Computer every time you are ready-even offline.” Click on “Link with Instapaper” and follow the instructions of your erector, including using your phone to scan a QR code or enter a code at kobo.com/instapper.
Step 3: Synchronize
After linking your Kobo to instapper, stay on a WiFi network to synchronize all your items saved on Instapaper at your Kobo and voila! Your articles are there and saved so that you can read at any time.
If there is no option to display your items when you click on “Plus”, you will have to update your Kobo. It shouldn’t take too long, and when he will start again, he will show you exactly what the update is for: “Farewell to the pocket” and “Hello to instapper”.
If you want to keep all your pocket data on your instaPAPER, you can also do it. Simply export your pocket data and import it in Instapapper.
Now there is Really No excuse to open as many tabs.
