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...
Well, that's what it does, share the link, yes :-) You have to somehow send the link to other devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_%28application%29 +++---------------- Firefox integration Pocket is built into the Firefox browser as of v38.0.5.[8] The user must create or logon to an existing Pocket online account to use the service. Only URLs, not web content itself, are saved to the cloud in the non-paid version. Firefox synched bookmarks already provide access to an online consolidated bookmark list of saved URLs from a Firefox browser on any device.[9] The added benefit with Pocket is that other browsers and Pocket apps on other devices can access the same Pocket account. Pocket makes it easy to tag and categorize content when saved, for more convenient access. Firefox must have internet access to use Pocket. As of July 2015 Firefox integrated Pocket does not cache web content for offline reading. - ----------------++- - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
