Read It Later

Of course, you probably know about this one, but Read It Later is oh so incredibly useful for saving all the articles and news stories I find while commuting or waiting in line. Even when I'm trying to go cold turkey and lay off reading political news, it's a godsend for media junkies like me.

It couldn't be easier to use, though you will need an account to get started. When you find an interesting article, you can slide it over to your "queue" for safekeeping. It's great for periods when you're just browsing for a few minutes and don't have time to peruse a whole story. Then, once you're ready, you can access it later either on your phone or on another device. What's more, the Android app will download the content to your SD card so you can read it when data or Wi-Fi access isn't available. That's nice.

Price: $2.99. There's also a free version that offers the core functionality, but without some added tools.
