What else differs between Pocket and SavetoKindle?

adrians: Do you have experience with Pocket to compare?

Thanks!
Push to Kindle, is a tiny application that just sends the url to Amazon Kindle Service. It is Amazon that translates the URL to an e-book. (and it makes a great job for it). There are plugins both for browsers to 'push-to-kindle' as well as various android applications that you can use with the 'share' functionality.

The difference I see between Pocket and send to Kindle, is that in Pocket, you have to pay to have the functionality to keep and download the articles.

For me, I want to build my article collection, so it is important to be able to have physical e-books that I can backup and copy between devices.

PS: another similar service which is open-source, but you need to pay for hosting is: wallabag (which I discovered from this forum)

Hope this helps
