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 some 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.
Oh, you are missing so much...
