Surf, browse and read, later

The Internet is a repository of information. There are mounds of cool things you decide to save for reading later, but don't ufffd because by that time, more information, articles and reviews have come in and you're drowning in hard-to-remember URLs. These handy apps save all you wish to read for later, with minimum fuss

Pocket
Pocket is the new avatar of one of the most appropriately named apps in app history — Read It Later. However, it has lost none of its effectiveness under its new nomenclature. What it has lost is the price tag — the app is available free of cost, and works brilliantly. If you ever come across something you would like to save for later reading — an article or even a video — just head to the Pocket option in your browser (in Bookmarks in Safari and in Share on Android). It will be saved in the app, letting you head back to it and read it, in a clear, reader-friendly format. Simple and very effective, with the addition of saving video being a neat touch. You can even install a Pocket extension to your desktop browser for saving articles.

Readability
This is an app dedicated totally to ensuring you get a great reading experience. Installing it in your desktop browser (it works smoothly with Firefox, Chrome and Safari) adds a button to your browser. If you want a cleaner view of what you are seeing, stripped of the ads and other noise, just hit the button and choose the Read Now option for a cleaner looking page. Of course, if you wish to save the page for later reading, just opt for Read Later, or even use the Send To Kindle, if you possess a Kindle and prefer to read your news there. Works like a charm, both for reading at present as well as later — you can even access the articles you have saved on your Android and iOS devices.
