My six-year-old rant still mostly applies (there've been some improvements to tag editing, and there's now in-article search for the Android app), but Pocket still massively underdelivers, increasingly as one relies on it more.

Most recently, I found I had to revert to a six-month-old version of the app in order to have both paginated navigation and to be able to open the "web view" in app ... which is where occasionally useful things such as tag editors live.

That said ... I've largely given up on Pocket delivering what I would like to see, and if I can steer discussion here, I'd really like to know what Android-specific and/or e-ink tablet tools people have for managing large article repositories on device.

I'm familiar with Zotero and Calibre, though both are desktop only, as well as Wallabag.

Mendelay is a no-op given Elsevere's ownership.

Anything I don't yet know of?

My long-standing dream is to create KFC, Krell Functional Context, a document management tool that would include webfs and docfs components, inspired somewhat by Plan9OS and its P9.

More on that in another "dreddit" rant: <https://web.archive.org/web/20200918215041/https://old.reddi...>
