Yup, it's pretty similar to the reading list option on iOS! I think we can take that implementation further and focus more on making the user reading experience smoother on different platforms.
I don't know if you've had a chance to try out the browser extensions yet, but would love to hear your thoughts on them (it's how I primarily use it right now). It has keyboard shortcuts to let you interact with your reading queue. I think it helps make the process of reading smoother.
