The initial idea was nice: do not lose what you want to read later (the list), keep a list of what you read (archive). Then it became better with “Permanent copies”: never lose content you want to read again later.

That number is a combination of all three, plus more than a decade of active use.

Damn, any alternatives in mind for that workflow?

My killer feature that led me to start using Pocket was Kobo integration: I could hit a button on my computer and continue reading an article on my ereader, duly cleaned up.

Since I'm slowly moving to self-hosting, I'll be installing Wallabag[0] most probably.

I also integrated my Kobo with Pocket with glee, but it turned into gloom when my saves ate all of the free memory of the reader :)
