the browser extension if not) and read it later on any device.Pocket also suggests new things for you to read, presenting them when you open

This, combined with its flexibility, makes it our favorite Instapaper alternative.2
EvernoteClip articles on one device and read them later on another in secondsEvernote is an excellent read-it-later service that's best used
together with the Clip to Evernote browser extension
With a click of a button, you can 'clip' a selection of text, an article, a page or an entire site, add tags, and choose a folder where the
clip should be saved.Evernote Basic lets you sync notes between two mobile devices, making it easy to clip articles using the desktop
browser extension, then read them later on a phone or tablet

That might not go far enough if you want to sync videos, but for text articles and images, it's fine.Evernote premium is aimed more at
businesses
It can sync across as many devices as you like, search within Office documents and PDFs, and accepts scanned business cards
You can sync up to 10GB content per month, and the maximum note size is 200MB
Evernote Business is the same, but with even more bandwidth per month.Evernote has all sorts of handy little touches that you'll come to
really appreciate as you use it more frequently
Google KeepA great Instapaper alternative if you're already using Google's other appsGoogle Keep is another great cross-platform alternative
to Instapaper, with apps for Android and iOS, plus as a Chrome extension.Keep also available as a web app that you can use in any browser,
but you really need the Chrome extension to get the best experience
Navigate to a page or select a chunk of text, then click the button to add a title, comment and tags
for note-taking and creating tasks
articles you bookmarked throughout the day.4
Microsoft OneNoteMicrosoft's note-taking app is well designed and works across platformsJust as Keep will be a natural partner if you're
heavily invested in Google's system of apps, OneNote will fit neatly into your life if you're a Microsoft fan.Microsoft's note-taking tool
has more of a business slant than most, but with the Web Clipper browser extension it makes a great alternative to Instapaper
You can clip a full page, an article, a selected part of the screen or a bookmark, then it to a notebook of your choice
It also integrates with the context menu, so you can right-click items on a webpage to clip them.There's no way to add tags to your clipped
articles, but OneNote is slick and well designed, and integrates neatly with the rest of Microsoft's apps.5
Apple Reading ListAn Instapaper alternative for Apple fans who want to read articles offlineIf you're an Apple fan, Reading List will be the
natural choice when you want to save an article or webpage to read later
Open a webpage in Safari, tap the 'Share' icon, then select 'Add to reading list'.There are no fancy options like tagging, but it's very
simple to use
You can search through your reading list to find a specific article, mark items as read without deleting them, and it's cached automatically
so you can read everything offline
It's a shame there's no way to add just a selection of text, or organize pages into categories, but that's the price of simplicity.There are
no plugins available for other browsers, and there's no Android app
This lack of flexibility keeps Apple Reading list from hitting a higher spot in our roundup of Instapaper alternatives, but if you only use
Apple's devices then it comes highly recommended (and already installed).yyuoz6NnoDnnnDphfvAGfh.jpg#
