What read later service is everyone using?

Wondering what read later service everyone is using with their Boox?

I have the e-ink Note, so my comments are related to that, maybe it is not the same for the non e-ink screen....

The main features I would like are:
- reading mode (no ads etc)
- full text search
- archiving
- tagging or folders
- highlighting
- adding notes/comments
- ability to see the highlights and notes/comments all together instead of needing to open each article to see them.

Pocket works well enough but Pocket as a service has some limitations. The biggest one for me is not being able to add notes, only highlights.

Instapaper lets you add notes but on my Boox I can't seem to get highlighting to work, only notes so that's a bit annoying.

Are there other ones that people are using?

Two years later, I have the same question. I’ve been using Instapaper specifically because Readwise integrates with it. But I find the swipe-to-page finicky on my Poke 3. I wonder if the page turn buttons on the Leaf case work with Instapaper?

I’m cautiously hopeful the new Readwise Reader app will be eink-friendly.

One of the reasons I got an Onyx device was to be able to read Pocket articles. So far, the app works pretty well on my Nova 3. I don’t swipe to turns pages though. Scrolling in speed mode is great with minimal ghosting.

I have been an enthusiastic user of Pinboard.in and Instapaper for quite a while and my attempt to stand up Wallabag was sidelined but probably something I'd like.
