Read feeds, Pocket vs Instapaper vs Readability

With the closure of Google Reader , many of us have felt requested, finding only a little comfort in Feedly, (How? That I can’t search within my feeds without going through the checkout?) Don’t use two keys if you can use only one! But that’s another story.

To read feeds I use the following combination, which improves my productivity:

  • Feedly-> to read on PC
  • Greader-> for tablet and mobile (allows offline synchronization, is beautiful, simple and synchronizes both ways)

I usually read the news on my way to work (GReader), but there are a lot of things I read that require a PC and a good time (tutorials, courses, libraries to instigate, shopping…).

Feedly has its own version of “Saved for Later” but I don’t like the interface of Feedly and since I’m a bit slick, and the internet is infinite I decided to use another service, it’s at this point when I found these three services and decided to make a small comparison to choose one of them:

Instapaper

Pocket

Readability

Yes (Sometimes it gives problems)

If there are elements that do not

I think it’s clear which of the options to choose. :D

*NOTE: This is biased since it is for a very defined use, but I have decided to put it here in case it may be useful to anyone.
