MY JUNE, 2017 PICK FOR BEST PRODUCT
I want to recommend a free program called “Pocket.” Because it’s one of my favorites, ever.
Why I love it:
You see something on-line you want to read later, and Pocket grabs it for you so you can read it anywhere: on your phone, tablet, PC, laptop. I tried to capture their icon, but couldn’t find a way to do it. It’s a white arrow on a red shield. All you have to do is click on that shield on your brower’s toolbar and the article you want to read later is saved.
It does NOT include all the sidebars, ads, and other extraneous stuff, just the article.
If you want to see the whole article, it puts the link up in the right-hand corner when you open the article. That way you can go and share it on places like Facebook. And read comments, because it strips them, too.
You can change some settings. My favorite is one that has a black background with a white font. This cuts way down on screen glare!
You can change the font size.
It has a long list of “recommended” articles—probably those that get the most clicks.
You can sit in a more comfortable chair to read longer pieces.
You can delete them, make them a favorite. or archive them.
My only problem with it is that I save way too many article to read later, and that cuts into my novel reading. But I am able to keep up with the news, save how-to-write-better posts, and find quirky things to share on Facebook and Twitter.
