Instapaper
Save articles now and read them later on a plain, offline page
Strips an article down to its text and stores it for later on a phone, tablet or e-reader, with or without a connection. Breaking the habit of reading whatever happens to be in front of you is the point: save it now, read it at a time you chose. Highlights export into most note apps. Queues grow faster than anyone reads them, which regular users treat as a filter rather than a failure.
