Never used pocket, how does this differ from just having a bookmarks folder called "stuff to read while you're taking a shit"?
The difference is in convenience.
On the one hand, you can add a page to your bookmarks, after choosing the correct folder, of course.
On the other hand, you can click a button and a page gets automatically saved in your "read later" storage, with a description, summary, and a preview of the content.
Pocket saved an offline searchable archive of all of the article text. Multiple times I found articles I saved that were no longer online. So no, it's not the same as bookmarks
I don't save stuff with it but I read the articles that come up on desktop. so it's kinda like a community, subreddit, rss feed, whatever
