Reading digital

I have always been a fan of reading, but not necessarily books. With the arrival of e-readers, I was quick to buy a Kobo Touch. There I set up books to read through the Kobo store.

When I discovered more books that I wanted to read, I created a GoodReads account to keep track of which books I had read and still wanted to read. The score is now 166 vs 341, so I am still busy.

But besides reading books, I also like to read articles from, for example, Blendle and magazines. I couldn’t buy it through Kobo, so I had to look for another way.

Fortunately, Kobo thought along with me and implemented a connection with Pocket, a service where you can, for example, send URLs with articles from your browser where they are stored in a nice readable format. You can tag articles and archive or favorite them. But the best feature is that I can download them to my e-reader via WiFi. So before I start reading I sync my Pocket list so that I have a new stock. After reading an article I let Pocket know that the article can be archived. If I want to keep it, I make it a favorite so that it is forwarded to Evernote via IFTTT.
