I really hope Rakuten buys it.
why do you think they won’t enshittify it? they own viber, see what they did there. ads all over the app, some in channels you can’t disable. once it asked me about the data collection I allow, I had to manually disable it with dozens of toggles for all their “business partners”, and it took at least half an hour.

The fuck is a “read it later” service? Bookmarks?

It’s significantly more accessible than trying to sync bookmarks with an Ereader’s shitty browser

Can you pull up a bookmarked item to read when you don’t have an active network connection? If yes, that’s a “read it later” service. If no, then that’s why they are useful.

So saving a page.

No, because you don’t save the bullshit along with the content. Also, it is a lot more organised than saving the html.

It also stripped the webpage to make it readable and mostly distraction-free, plus sombre services will also include tag suggestions to more easily find it later.
I used Pocket on my Kobo to read articles I saved, much easier to focus on the content and easy on the eyes with the eInk display.
