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).
Having said that, because I like to have different tabs on my devices and don't sync them by default, I find the Sync functionality rather lacking. I keep a pinned tab for 'Tabs from Other Devices', but it frequently shows nothing, even when I refresh, because it seems the other devices need to have been synced within a relatively recent time period. And the actual UI of that page is very dated and in need of improvement. Indeed, they seem to have relegated this function since it's been hidden in the menus and unlikely people will even find it (History toolbar button
Tabs from Other Devices).
I don't know, I have never used "sync". What has picked my interest is that pocket is supported by my Kobo device, and I often have a read in bed. I still have not tried it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
