Neat idea. Any way to batch import sources from pocket or apple’s read later in safari or similar sources?
Having said that, and based on the feedback we read tonight in this thread, integrating with pocket and similar sources in some way, shape or form seems like a top priority!
I bring this up occasionally: If you use Pocket (built into Firefox and low-friction plugin for other browsers incl mobile) the Kobo e-reader is awesome. You can import Pocket articles to read offline and they are essentially displayed as epub e-books. They're also displayed in print-optimized format (no ads). E-ink ends up being a great way to read these long-form articles.
Another option is to use e-ink Android tablet such as Boyue Likebook, where you can install the native Pocket app.
Pity that it's already three versions behind, of course.
A few years ago I founded a company that did something very similar. The idea of Memeoirs[1] was that, back in the 2000s, some of your most thoughtful and interesting conversations happened via email. You could trace the story of your life collecting some of your most important emails with our webapp, which worked with Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook, and then have a printed version mailed to you.

I had this idea in 2006/2007. My thought was to make it a personalized, on-demand magazine (ha, remember those).

Its like the minimalism idea of taking a picture of something so you feel better about biffing the thing.
I do the same thing with my to-do list and backlog. I keep a page in the back of my notebook I put things that don't seem to get done over multiple days. If they're important they'll come up again. If they're important but not urgent I make sure to reschedule a week or two away instead of backlogging.
Cool idea but won't be a customer, I use my read later folder to drop context of things I probably don't need to read but feel the urge to.
