  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.

      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.
