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.

It does, it's just it's easier to pick out the articles you want to read when they have pictures next to them in Pocket .

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 do that for readlists. but for articles, i find it's easier to have them on one app instead of scattered in my kindle fire

i'm really liking readlists as well.

oh, anyone know what other sites besides Longform.org that offers curated lists of articles?

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.

instapaper isn't available for android, though i think there is a paid app that acts like instapaper
