Came here to also suggest wallabag. Getting running on your own host is dead simple (just a few 'apt-get's and a 'make' script) and the community has made apps for just about every platform. Also, as a limited-vision reader, the accessibility options are really well done!

I was looking for a pocket replacement due to privacy concerns and an ever growing annoyance with ads. Wallabag has a Pocket importer and the rss feeds are a really nice touch! I even put up a parser on my website to show people my starred articles: http://desandoval.net/i-am

I'll try the ebook trick. That is a really good idea! I was looking for a reason to pull out my old B&N Nook again ;)
