I'm facing a very busy year-end period with lots of travels. And while the iPad Pro is a very handy form factor for in-flight content consumption, I was struggling with proper preparation of content to study while airborne. Until a friend reminded me about Pocket. I had tried Pocket before but probably not thorough enough to appreciate its virtues.
On a second try now it shapes entirely different, addressing exactly what I need. AFter having installed "Save to Pocket" extensions everywhere (on a phone, in Feedly, in desktop browsers...), it is just a subsecond click during busy hours to send content to Pocket. And then, when a proper moment for digesting comes, Pocket on iPad has it all, in offline / "article" mode (without disturbing ads and active gadgets). Beautiful!
It is not entirely perfect - I cannot for example send PDFs and other more heavy content, such as Slideshare presentations or network videos with a single click (that'd be awesome, ain't it?). But so far so good - it has quickly become one of my favorite apps.
