Read It Later updated all their apps today, including the Kindle's. It's now rebranded to Pocket. The new interface is beautiful.

And it is now free.

RainingLemur · 04-17-2012, 10:01 PM

Free - My kind of price.

JSWolf · 04-17-2012, 10:02 PM

It also has been updated for iOS.

Jessica Lares · 04-17-2012, 10:09 PM

Yep, when I get my new iPad, that will be one of the first apps that goes on it. FREE is very nice too.

Thanks for the heads up! I so do not like the new look of the online list on Firefox but this isn't first time they done something like this. If ain't broke....

OK, this looks great, but as a newbie to the KF, I can't figure how to get it on to the device. I "bought" it on the site on my PC, and the Amazon message says it will be downloaded.

I can't find it or figure out how to get it. My Wi-fi is on, I went to the apps store, but nothing there, I tried hitting the sync button, I went to the app store and searched for "Pocket" and got nothing but odd other apps. I went to Amazon and searched, and got a long list of watches, womens dresses, etc.

I can't figure out what else to do. Any advice?

I finally got the thing downloaded, and then it wanted me to log in, of all things. I put in a valid email address and a password, and it kept telling me it was not a valid address.

I finally got them to accept it, and now when I try to log in, it says it is not a valid address.

If I have to log in every time I want to use it, even if it accepts my email address, it is a royal PITA, and not worth the trouble.

I've been using Read It Later on my Fire for a while now, and I use it a lot. I really like the new look!

No IE9 support. It's idiotic not to have IE9 support.

A LOT of developers don't like supporting IE because they have to find workarounds since it doesn't support a lot of features.

That and no one uses it.

Chrome and Firefox with Opera coming up on its heels are the main ones. IE should be be discontinued.

Sure did, but it took several trys before it accepted my email address.

Now that I have, each time I click on the app icon, it wants me to put in my email and password. I do this, but it still won't let me in. ???

Is your Kindle putting a comma instead of a period? That is a common problem I have. That and it autocorrects.
