Just learned that POCKET will shut down in July 2025. It is a great service to collect articles on various devices and read later on a tablet & offline.

Which alternatives are out there?

I went with Readeck a few months ago. It's a nice solution between the barebones ones and those that have all the features.

I ended up on Readeck as well, very sleek interface, perfect for sharing articles via public links, self-hosting it was very easy to set up.

I just set up Readeck today. I've never used pocket or anything of the sort but it's already proving pretty useful. I tend to do a lot of 100%/platinum runs of various games and I've been tossing guide bookmarks in a folder for ages, this is a great way to sort those out

I use Readeck as well. My only complaint about Readeck is there really is no 'one click, backup/export' option. You can, however, download all the zip files it makes along with the db, and transfer it to another server. I know you can import bookmarks from Firefox, and you can export the epub, but you can't export all of your saves. At least I've never found a way beyond just downloading the full db and zips.
