Need alternative solution to 'send article text'

April 21, 2013 12:31 PM

Help! The Pocket 'read it later' app removed my favorite feature, the option to 'send article text'. This would pull all of the text of an article into an email so the recipient didn't need to follow a link to a web page. This was a lifesaver for my parents who for various reasons couldn't handle trying to follow the link. They are really only comfortable with using email. Now that Pocket has removed this, are there any alternatives available? Some sort of bookmarklet, perhaps? A different app? An ITTT formula?

Instapaper, which is very similar to Pocket, still offers an "email full text" option from its share tool (on the iOS version of the app, anyhow).

You can also add an instapaper bookmark for the send to email.

Evernote can do this too.
