Here are the latest news about Kobo Libra:
26.08.25. Instapaper replaces Pocket on Kobo e-readers
Kobo has introduced a firmware update for most of its e-readers and the main great news is that Instapaper is now available as a new built-in function. It replaces Mozilla Pocket, which was discontinued this summer. This integration will allow Kobo users to save web articles (for example, in a browser or on a mobile device) and then read them on their e-readers. This is especially useful for reading long texts without distractions. Former Pocket users can import their saved articles into Instapaper (until October 8, 2025).
2025. Kobo eReaders discontinued support of multiple OverDrive library cards
Kobo have recently limited the OverDrive integration on their e-readers - i.e. removed the ability to use multiple libraries directly. Interestingly, Kobo blames in this downgrade OverDrive and OverDrive blames Kobo. Fortunately, there are a few workarounds: 1. sign in with one library card and then sign out when you're done reading the book that you borrowed from this library. 2. use Adobe Digital Editions to download e-books from multiple libraries and use it to upload them to your Kobo device from your computer. 3. have multiple Kobo devices for multiple libraries. Of course, this is not the best option for everyone, but some people have more than one Kobo device.
