Still a work in progress, but even at this stage, I hope it can help you and anyone you know who has been affected by the Pocket shutdown.

    I always forget the Kindle has a basic web browser. In lieu of a sync service/native apps, I wonder if any of these alternatives would work decently enough in the Kindle web browser with Article Mode.

    And for what it’s worth, I use this Firefox extension to send articles directly to my Kindle without Pocket/any service in the middle.

      No, it shows up as a downloaded book, no browser required! Well, you have to be connected to Wi-Fi (or have the mobile version) to “Whispersync” initially, but once it’s on there, you can read it offline, delete it, send it to the cloud, etc. It does open the browser if you want to archive or favorite it to your Pocket account, but you could do that when you have service again, or just not use that functionality…

        Yeah, the Firefox extension I linked works the same way. I was just thinking out loud about the other alternatives and whether that approach would be feasible, but you’re right it does have the connection requirement.
