With all of the information that is available at your fingertips
on the Internet, even a quick peek at your favorite website can make it hard to
stay focused on your daily tasks. Read-later services can help you store web
articles to a central list, so that you can read them at your convenience –
anytime, anywhere, even without internet connection.
Here are a few examples of popular read-later services that can
help you boost productivity by saving items of interest for future viewing:
Pocket, which was formerly known as Read It Later, offers some of the most robust options for read-it-later activities, including browser extensions, bookmarks, app integration, multi-platform readers, and more.
Instapaper is a free
tool that turns your saved websites into black and white, paper-like
representations, which you can then read later on Instapaper.com. It also makes
it easy to highlight and comment on text-in articles, as well as store,
retrieve, quote, and share information.
Readability is a free
web and mobile app that removes online clutter and turns any web page into an
easy-to-read, clean view for reading now or later on your computer, smart
phone, or tablet. In addition, it can also show you the top articles that other
people are reading.
