     @Anarchy_How @chessert Here are some others listed in an article on TechCrunch. With the exceptions of Raindrop and Instapaper I haven't used the other services. https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/27/read-it-later-app-pocket-is-shutting-down-here-are-the-best-alternatives/

     @chessert @WarnerCrocker Thanks for the resources. Paperspan is what I gravitated towards a few years ago.

     Some quick research for Pocket replacements.

     https://alternativeto.net/software/pocket/

     I chose Instapaper, with a free account. I exported my Pocket data (.csv file, arrives as a .zip via email), and imported it to Instapaper via the Settings menu. My Pocket items aren't showing yet: don't know how long that normally takes. Instapaper's website seems kinda squirrely - several 500 errors: maybe they're getting slammed by Pocket migrants right now?

     Thanks, @WarnerCrocker !

     Gonna have to give Wallabag a try.

     (I just got into using KO Reader on my paperwhite and it is integrated or something.)
