Calibre has had this feature for a while, but this looks to be more polished and easier to use than doing it through a program.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, there aren’t a lot of options out there. Try a different combination of apps and web services and see what works best for you. I like my current set up; YMMV.

I signed up for a Read It Later account (and bought the app) about a week before the Pocket redesign. I also have an Instapaper account, but I found Pocket more user-friendly after the redesign. When I’m on my Mac, I use Caffeinated to read my Google Reader subscriptions. Depending on the RSS feed, Caffeinated presents a clean reading interface without having to resort to Pocket. If the article isn’t Caffeinated-friendly, I send it to Pocket, which has a Mac app (Read Later, also compatible with Instapaper if you have a subscription). When I’m on the go, I use Flipboard on my iPhone much like Caffeinated, sending articles to be read on the Pocket iOS app.

Bummed. I was looking forward to seeing how Canon’s new offerings stacked up to Sony, RED, and the like.

I’ll be very interested to see how their cine lenses fare against other manufacturers. Like I said in my OP, I was just waking up and the picture amused me. Will the Canon cine glass debut day-and-date with the new Canon cinema cameras?

Anyone else notice how the camera pictured in the post is using a Canon EF lens? Not a cinema lens, but a Canon DSLR lens. Not complaining, just amused by the stock photo in relation to Jannard’s challenge to other 4K camera manufacturers…like Canon.
I could just be groggy from waking up, but it made me smirk.
