Pocket is no longer going to be available on Kobo e-readers

Update from the article:

Update: June 29, 2023

Sarah Vasquez, the Senior Manager, Communication at Mozilla, told Good e-Reader in an exclusive statement, “Kobo is aiming to update the Pocket login on their e-readers to support Firefox accounts. The exact timing is to be determined. However, Pocket’s existing Kobo users will not be affected nor lose access to their accounts. Note that new Pocket accounts created after August 15th may not have access to the existing Pocket login option, depending on when Kobo support becomes available. Kobo users can continue using Pocket on their iOS or Android device or use Pocket’s website.”

So it's just a matter of updating the login screen to support Firefox accounts/2FA, and Kobo is planning to release an update at some point.

Would be great if the official dock could be used for the Switch! Any custom firmware?

USB-C docks not made specifically for the Switch seem to be hit and miss.

As an alternative, you can check out the Genki Covert Dock and Covert Dock Mini that work well with the Switch and the Deck and are really small, so great for traveling.
Unfortunately they're rated for 25W and 20W respectively, while the Deck usually requires 38W for full-speed charge, so it won't charge as well as the official Valve dock and it doesn't have power pass-through.
