Seamlessly sending websites to eReaders from phones

edit: oops, meant this to be in the What One Should I Buy forum

Apologies if this has been done to death, but I'm going crazy trying to figure out what to search for.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite that I love for reading eBooks (and for better or worse, I have a pretty big Kindle collection).

The workflow I'd love to have work flawlessly is "I'm reading a thing on my phone (or Mac) and want to read it on an eReader *right now*". I use the Android "Upload to Kindle" app which never seems to work - I usually hit "sync" on my Kindle for 15 minutes and then get distracted - I have no idea if the app is failing or if the Kindle document service takes time / is broken or what.

I'd buy another device if necessary, but I'm sure this can't be an unreasonable task to want…

How do y'all do it? Go from reading on a phone to reading on an eReader, as quickly & seamlessly as possible? What are the search terms I'm looking for?

I have an Onyx Nova Pro. I installed Pocket on the Nova and on my phone (and the web extension on the desktop). I can send any page to Pocket and then open the Pocket app on the Nova and read the article. I also have Instapaper installed, which does pretty much exactly the same thing.
