Send pages from IE to Readability

[brunok]

I never found a perfect solution to the limitations of the "share to" menu in Windows Phone. I wanted to share pages from the phone's browser to services like Evernote and OneNote in a simple and elegant manner.

I still can't use Evernote and OneNote, but here's a simple way to send pages from Internet Explorer (or any other Windows Phone browser) to a Readability account.

1. Log in to your Readability account.
2. Go to "Apps & Add-nos".
3. Go to "Bookmarklets".
4. Copy link addresses for the buttons you want (Read Now, Read Later, Send to Kindle).
5. Create a new bookmark, rename it and paste the address of the bookmarklet.

You can use those bookmarks to send pages to Readability. It's a pretty simple solution and it should work with similar services like Pocket. However, I tried using Evernote's bookmarklet in IE but it didn't work.

I've never heard of Readability. What does it do?

It cleans up a webpage of an article, for example, to make it easier to read. Also, you can save them to read later.

This works! Thanks!

This also works with Pocket. Create an email contact called Pocket or whatever and include the email address: add@getpocket.com. Now when you're in IE and want to save a webpage, tap "...", share, select an email account, and then choose your Pocket contact. Voila, the page is sent to Pocket.
