They block you copying or even opening the original url, rendering half the use-case pointless. They're thereby parasites on others' content.

It seems you are looking for a bookmark manager, not a read-it-later offline reader app

Pretty good but web clipper not as consistent as Evernote.

Ahaha really funny! I use «MS WORD» and it's better than this sh*t 1000 times.

You can only import from Pocket or Instapaper CSV.

So in order to import bookmarks you have to go through Pocket first, then export that then import from Pocket. No use staying with Pocket, its too limited (no tags, no title editing for free users). Want to try this, but not sure if its worth the hassle

It's awesome, just wish they'd finish the GPDR implementation sooner, I really miss it.

I love it, it's way better than Pocket especially given that you can send your articles regularly to your Kindle.

What is Instapaper?

Instapaper is a simple tool to save web pages for reading later. To save web pages for later offline reading: go to Instapaper.com, install the Read Later bookmark, and mark any pages you'd like to read later.

It's great for long articles and blog posts that you find during the day and would like to read, but don't have the time when you find them. Save them with Instapaper, then read them when you're commuting, in a meeting, or waiting in line.
