  1. Tap Filter in the gray bar above your current articles.

Organizing your articles

On your Kobo eReader, you can archive articles, delete them, and mark them as a favorite. If you delete an article on your Kobo eReader, it's permanently deleted from your Pocket account.

If you're running low on storage space on your Kobo eReader, you can archive or delete articles from your Pocket account. Some Kobo readers offer removable Micro-SD card storage. When you insert a micro-SD card, it's treated as an integrated storage and your Library - including your Pocket articles - are automatically downloaded to the additional space.

To archive, favorite, delete or remove contents from your eReader:

  1. Go to Library > Articles from Pocket
  2. Press and hold on the article until a menu appears
  3. Tap archive, favorite or remove. If you tap Remove, you'll see options to remove the article from your Kobo, or Remove from Pocket, which will permanently delete it from your Pocket account.
Note: Articles you remove from your eReader aren't deleted. They're just moved to the Kobo Cloud to save storage space. You can download the content again when you want to read an article.

Common questions

I only see some of my saved items on my Kobo. Why is this?

The Kobo is compatible with links that display in Pocket’s Article View. Other links, such as PDFs, cannot be synced to the Kobo.

See What is Article View? to learn more about Article View.

If you have a link saved to your Pocket account that you believe should be available on your Kobo and in Article View, contact Pocket Support. Please share the URL in your message, and we'll be glad to take a look.

What is the difference between Pocket for Kobo and Pocket on my computer, Android or iOS device?

The Kobo integration is designed as a simple, clean reading experience that includes offline downloading. The Kobo integration does not include any Pocket Premium features.

To access more Pocket features you can use Pocket on Android, iOS and Web.
