App of the Week: Read It Later
When you come across an article or website you’d like to read but just don’t have time for, save it to your Read it Later list. You can then read it whenever you have a moment, wherever you are, even without an internet connection. Search, sort, tag, adjust font alignment; Read It Later even remembers where you stopped reading and will pick up where you left off.
And it’s FREE!
