As a long-time ReadItLater user, I'm not too impressed with the "Pocket" rebranding ("Read It Later" made it obvious what it did) but the new iOS app solves most of the issues I had with it (it auto-resolve bit.ly links, pulls in titles even if the client app didn't add them, etc). And it looks much better.

Readability still has a more readable text-only view but I assume Pocket could just tweak the CSS (slightly larger font, larger line height).

I am worried that everything is free now. I preferred to live under the impression/illusion that my money had gone to fund the infinite existence of the service. Now it's totally at the mercy of investors / potential buyers.

Do you worry that Google is free? Or Facebook? Or Twitter?

Also, regarding the name, I think it's great. Otherwise we'd be living in a world of searchtheinternet.com or SharePhotosWithFilters for iPhone!

I don't worry about Google (the search engine product) or Gmail because they're core products of profitable company. I don't worry about Facebook because I wish it would die (but it's also making money — enough? Maybe/maybe not). I do worry about Twitter because it's a very useful service to me (making friends and connections) but they've done nothing to ensure their continued existence.

Which is exactly why I use Instapaper.

If you're not the one spending the money, you're the one being sold.

What's stopping Instapaper selling you as well as getting you to pay for it?

Because he has something to lose if he does - customers who pay him money.

Papermill? http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/23/2897938/papermill-is-the-f...

I have tried papermill. Its the most unstable app I have ever downloaded for my android phone.

It crashes randomly but most often when syncing or reading a article. I have send bug reports and contacted the author but that hasn't really helped.

Try InstaFetch.. There's a Free and Paid version.. Works quite well for me.. But using RIL or Pocket more..

Ipaper is ok. I just wish it remembered your position within an article.
