TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’” ALERT: Kobo Just Did a Whole Identity Crisis! Itโ€™s Time to Spill the Tea! โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿคก So, listen up, fam! Rakuten is swapping Pocket like itโ€™s an expired lunch meat for Instapaper on Kobo ereaders because apparently, theyโ€™re trying to keep up with the โ€œtrendyโ€ kids or whatever. ๐Ÿ‘€โœจ Forget old Pocket, that once-great read-it-later was sent to the digital abyss by Mozillaโ€”like that one ex who โ€œseemed fineโ€ until they ghosted you. ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ’” But wait, there's more! This Instapaper thing is like Pocket but with a different name, so they basically just took Pocket, threw some glitter on it, and said, โ€œLook! Itโ€™s a new feature!โ€ ๐Ÿคฏโœจ Ugh, massive cringe. Theyโ€™re not even giving us handwritten annotations on the fancy Kobo Libra Colour โšก๏ธโœ๏ธ? I'm pretty sure my cat could code this better while napping. Leaked Developer Quote: โ€œWe thought people would be excited to read again instead of scrolling TikTok. Who knew?!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hot Take: In 2024, Kobo will drop its whole ereader line and just become a TikTok account where you can read trendy articles while watching people dance with cats! #FutureIsNow ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’€ Straight up, if youโ€™re still using an ereader in 2025, collect your stonks and run. This is fine. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ’ธ Go home, Kobo, youโ€™re drunk!
