This makes a lot of sense, as sometimes you‘ll want to store things into two different categories (for example, you might choose to store an article about cheap kitchen utensils under both “cooking” and “frugal purchases”, or to tag an article about Photoshop tutorials under “computer stuff” and “image editing”). ![]() In stark contrast to Instapaper’s somewhat clunky folder-based storage system (which only allows you to save an article in one specific folder), Pocket uses the much more modern and versatile tagging approach. In 99% of cases, this works as expected, but you may encounter the odd hiccup trying to save content from apps that don’t officially support the Pocket app. While this does make the process of saving content easier, you can always try to use your device’s ‘Share’ option as noted above. So, if you see something you like when using apps like Twitter, Flipboard, Dolphin Browser, Digg, Feedly, Alien Blue, or Zeit, you can easily save it to your Pocket with the tags that are going to help you find it when you need it later. Pocket‘s flexible API means that it‘s already been implemented in over 1,500 apps. Alternatively, there are a wide variety of options for saving – and accessing – content for desktop users, too.

Instapaper presents articles in a clean, newspaper-like format. You can highlight text and add notes to articles in Instapaper.
