Readability VS. Pocket?
which do you prefer to use for read-it-later purposes?

I use both. I like Pocket for articles that heavily use images, and I like Readability for plain text. Pocket just feels and looks better overall though.

I use Pocket. I haven't tried the other one, but Pocket seems to do everything I need.

Why not just use a Send to Kindle bookmarklet and send it directly to your Kindle fire. No app needed.

I've used Pocket a little bit. But, I've really taken a liking to readlists.

I just found out that the Pluse app has read-it-later abilities. You have to setup a Pluse.me account and use the pluse bookmarklet. Works pretty well.
