I converted to Pocket from Instapaper myself. There is a reason I like Pocket though, it's simple, I don't need to think about notes, tags, comments and social crap. It's a 'read it later' service, if I really wanted to have notes, tags etc then I would just use Evernote directly which has those features. With quotes like "It’s not polished" and "frankly it’s pretty confusing to use" why would I even consider it?

Maybe because you have ebooks and webtexts finally in one place? And Evernote actually has no social reading features. It´s an early version and not a 50 million users product.

...and you present this with a site that doesn't let me zoom in on an iPad, or change the font size? A site that eats into my precious screen real estate with ads, borders, useless menus and useless two-column layout that I can't control? That forces silly pagination?

Call me back when you start thinking about my reading comfort, like Instapaper does.
