The only reason I used Pocket was to save longer articles, ebooks, journals, etc with one click so they would sync with the free p2k (Pocket2Kindle) service and automatically end up on my Kindle. Is there anything similar?

Thanks for this. I was already using Inoreader (with a Supporter subscription) and they made it easy to grab my Pocket content.

Now the only thing I need to figure out is what I'll do as a replacement to the Kobo + Pocket integration.

Good question! I know Wallabag has some eReader integrations through KOReader. People on Kobo devices seem to like it especially. There may be other options too. I'll look at this some more! I'd appreciate anyone sharing details that they know too.

I always forget the Kindle has a basic web browser. In lieu of a sync service/native apps, I wonder if any of these alternatives would work decently enough in the Kindle web browser with Article Mode.

And for what it’s worth, I use this Firefox extension to send articles directly to my Kindle without Pocket/any service in the middle.

Yeah, the Firefox extension I linked works the same way. I was just thinking out loud about the other alternatives and whether that approach would be feasible, but you’re right it does have the connection requirement.

That's exactly what I used it for, and the best alternative is Instapaper. Their free version does a bit more than p2k. They've jacked up the price of their paid option, but since I only care about the Kindle feature, I live without it.

I'm really enjoying Karakeep , but I never used Pocket so I don't know how they compare.

I would love to see one, and please tell me if I missed it in the list, that keeps bookmarks in a git repo.
I don’t need the read it later aspect just the link.

If you just want to keep track of your bookmarks using git, floccus can do that.

I was going to say that I use Hoarder and like it, but it looks like it's been renamed to Karakeep. I like the AI-powered tagging functionality.

Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.

If you're already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you're not bookmarking constantly.

If you're doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).

I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced

I could be missing something but I never see Karakeep when the pocket shutdown is being mentioned. I’m curious ppl don’t know or don’t like karakeep?

Is it good for read-it-later functionality, for example to read from a phone without online connectivity?

Your entry for Omnivore says the link to the hosted version is broken. That's because it shut down at the end of last year.

It was a good option for read-it-later, whereas most of the of the bookmarking self-hosted apps seems more focused on saving and sorting links.

I set up Wallabag on my Kobo last week and really don't like it when compared with the default Pocket implementation. Having to mess about getting it set up, and having to install KOReader just to replicate a function I already had and used extensively is irritating as hell. And it's not as good either.

Fuck Mozilla. They didn't have to buy Pocket, and they didn't have to shut it down. The pricks.

Do you know if there is any interest in resurrecting it?

Was wondering why this was posted on technology, but it turns out it is not selling what I'd expect with that website name.

Thanks. Def checking this out.
