When it's time to read, Instapaper and Pocket offer similar basic reading features.
If you want to be sure you read everything from a given source, you can watch an RSS feed for new items and automatically save them to Instapaper or Pocket: Having said that, Pocket's app directory looks pretty outdated: the page still prominently features Google Reader, which went the way of the dinosaurs in 2013.īoth Instapaper and Pocket are supported by Zapier, which means you can connect either of them to thousands of apps. That sounds like boring geek stuff, because it is, but the upside is that there are all kinds of applications that support Pocket.
If you want actual, two-way syncing, Pocket offers that with Kobo devices (Kobo is Kindle's main competition in the eReader market). Neither Pocket nor Instapaper offers a two-way sync-saved articles are sent to your Kindle, where they're managed separately from your article library. Pocket doesn't directly offer this feature, but the third-party application Pocket2Kindle means you can have the same feature using that service. Instapaper offers a built-in integration for sending saved articles to Kindle devices. That means you can save articles from most places and read your saved articles on most devices. Pocket is built by Mozilla, the same team that builds the Firefox browser, and is actually built into Firefox, but you don't need to use Firefox in order to use Pocket. They also offer browser extensions for common browsers like Chrome and Safari. Each offers apps for Android, iOS, macOS, and the web for reading the articles you've saved. You can save items to Pocket directly from Slack.įor the most part, Instapaper and Pocket support similar platforms.
