What I'm not getting is that I thought Firefox Sync covered this. There was a lot of fanfare when Sync was revamped about how you could start reading a page on one device then catch up with it on another. I guess the Sync concept relies on keeping the page open in a tab but otherwise I don't see a great advantage with Pocket.
Apparently, I can mark a page in Firefox in Linux, and later read it in my tablet or my Kobo ereader, without doing anything special. Also apparently, with the free pocket service what is saved is just the link. With the paid account, the page itself is saved to the cloud (maybe with clutter removed).
Wh-wh-wh-what? It just saves the link? Is that it? Can a simple twentieth century technology otherwise known as a bookmark not suffice? Even without Firefox being installed on every device, surely there's a myriad ways to transfer a simple text link, be it via a direct or cloud sync function, an email, pen and paper... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
