Hacker News Reader

To me, this effect is only prevented by the fact that I get the articles emailed to my Kindle. If I was just marking something to "read later", and expecting to read it later on my computer's web browser, it would never happen.

But instead it shows up on my Kindle. I'm in a completely different mode when reading my Kindle than I'm in when on the computer. I'm calmer, slower, and I'll actually sit down and read the articles.

Yeah, the win for me is it goes to my iPad and I catch up with longer articles when I travel in particular.

That said I also use Pinboard.in. I don’t go back to read everything but I find it a useful research tool for when I remember saving something but not exactly what it was.

I have the same use case as well, pinboard is to save mostly obscure websites and blog posts and comments i found interesting but not necessarily useful

i have something like 600+ articles to read in pocket since I started using it 8 years ago. I've tried to go through and delete some of them a few times but i never make a dent since i do sort of want to read most of them.

the only thing that helped the last few years was to uninstall the browser extension. it means i have to log in to the website if I want to add something and I only go through all that hassle if i 'really' want to read it later

im thinking i might set up wallabag soon and jailbreak my kindle because I think I might have a better chance of reading them there

Have you seen p2k.co? It sends Pocket articles to Kindle using Amazon's free email-to-kindle service.
