It will then automatically and almost immediately show up on my Kindle , the sync is done instantaneously.

This impression of the Send to Kindle is just wrong. I don't have to email myself anything !!!! Send to Kindle uses the Kindle email system to work, but that is all happening without me having to send any email. I just push the "Send to Kindle" button integrated in my browser.

I have a kindle PW as well as a kobo Aura HD to compare. I had, as I am sure Canuck is aware of, upgraded my kobo to 2.9.0 in order to have the Pocket integration. But after a week of using both, my kobo and my kindle, I saw no difference between using the Pocket integration on the Aura and the Send to Kindle integration on the kindle. I personally prefer by far my Kindle for many reasons, all listed in the Pro's in the first post, but both devices are good and it's a question of personal taste in the end.
Ahh I see I got the impression from a previous post that you needed to email to your Kindle. I suppose that makes them basically the same then. Although with pocket I can read my articles on pretty much any device. Is the same also true with the "send to Kindle" functionality?
