![]() When you launch the Kindle app, the article will be saved at the top of your Library, ready for your reading. To do so, you’ll tap on the “Share” button in the mobile browser, then add “Kindle” as one of the destinations by toggling the switch.įrom then on, when you’re on the web and don’t have time to complete your reading, you can tap on Share, then scroll over to Kindle to save the article to the Kindle app. With each launch of the Kindle app, you’ll be reminded of the web content you bookmarked for a later read - and that increases the chance that you’ll finally complete the task instead of continuing to ignore it, as is easier with more isolated apps like Instapaper.Īccording to Amazon’s App Store description, to use the new feature - which works with documents as well as web pages - you’ll first have to enable it in Safari’s settings. Kindle, on the other hand, is more a regular destination for readers - at least those who are not “real book” purists who prefer flipping actual pages to virtual ones. You sort of do want to read it, you probably should read it, but… well, let’s save that for another day! The act of marking something as “to read” instead of devouring it then and there on the spot typically means it’s not content you’re all that obsessed with in the first place. What’s funny about “read it later” apps is that they sometimes become a black hole for content. But now that lineup includes the default iOS browser, Safari, which will make the feature more accessible to a large number of users. That means your Kindle device or app can replace your preferred “read it later” application - like Pocket or Instapaper, for example - apps where regular web readers often store the longer news articles, features or profiles they want to dig into at a later date.Īmazon, of course, already supported saving web content to Kindle through desktop browser extensions, emails to your “Send-to-Kindle” email address and from Android phones. And sometimes I love to do that on a big nice 23 inch screen.Amazon has quietly rolled out the “ Send to Kindle” feature to its Kindle for iOS application that allows you to save to the app articles and documents found on the web. It was all daunting, but now I can read my articles on my laptop. The Tweetbot was especially a pain, cause I had to add an account for every Twitter account I used. Took me like 2 hours to set everything up.Īdding Pocket accounts to Zite, Flipboard, newly tested Tweetbot. Since Hootsuite only had an option to add articles to Instapaper, seems like it meant for me, that I have to change my whole social media setup. On top of all the differencies, Pocket has more features related to video that I didn’t still see. I was kinda brand loyal towards Instapaper for a little bit too much. Now why would I pay for free stuff, I am not sure. Seems that Pocket has free desktop client, free iOS client and on top of it all it, search is free. I believe we used to have search before, it was just imposed as a limit a couple of months ago, while I didn’t pay attention. Now the next imposing limitation is I can’t use search. ![]() ![]() Okay, big deal, I can’t use the API on it’s own, save it for “premium subscribers”. While this wouldn’t bother me had I not already paid the app itself 5$. Instapaper doesn’t have a desktop client at all, but syncs with ReadLater if you pay 1$ per month. Pocket is free, has a desktop client (ReadLater) which works rather well. Instapaper proved to be financially inefficient to me, when compared to Pocket. The main reason why I am making the switch in my social media setup is actually Instapaper. ![]()
