    Really disappointed to lose Pocket. I am a big user of it and found it very convenient to save articles of interest as well as collecting anything that looked interesting that I might want to read. Have both the Android app and use it on the desktop.

    Now I’m going to have to find a substitute.

      I liked the concept but immediately thought “this is gonna get dropped eventually and I’ll lose all the shit I saved”. Looks like I was right.

      Let us know if you find a replacement. I have pocket on my e-reader and I’m going to miss it

        Based on https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/2206365/Alternatives-to-MZLA-Pocket I’m going to try Wallabag and/or Readeck. Probably the critical issue is whether you can self-host or not:

        • Wallabag has a paid public instance, but Readeck you’d have to host yourself until their public service launches later this year (see https://readeck.org/en/start)
        • Wallabag uses the Pocket API to transfer data (so I think you’d need to migrate before Pocket shuts down), whilst Readeck can import the file produced by a Pocket export.
        • Wallabag has phone apps, whilst Readeck is browser-only (does your e-reader support a browser?)
        • Readeck can export to ebook formats (so might be more useful for e-readers in this regard); not sure about Wallabag
