> Interesting to me that you both don't really seem to love Pocket - you're just happy it almost does what Instapaper does, for free.
I'm a former Instapaper user that loves Pocket. I was barely willing to try Pocket since my queue was already in Instapaper, but I was tired of my chosen platform being treated as second-class. Android Instapaper apps sucked except for the excellent PaperMache (Yes, I have an HP TouchPad), which was just slow on Android.
So, I moved to Pocket and I love it. The text formatting on my CM9 tablet is GREAT by default, keeps images (in offline mode, too) and has a VERY attractive grid of unread articles that shows an article thumbnail. It's a much more enjoyable experience.
That said, I bought Instapaper for and tried it out. I'd be happy with the new Instapaper app had I never switched to Pocket, but Pocket is just better than Instapaper in their current iterations. I'm definitely glad there's competition on Android now though.
One Instapaper feature I miss though: auto-tweeting articles that I have starred.
